Park Billiards?
Do you mean Park Billiards under the Park Lanes bowling alley? We went there a lot when we were kids in the late 60's. I believe the last owner opened HiTech in Weehawken. I also walked down the hill I lived on to Hanley's on 77th St. and Tonnelle Ave (Rte 1&9) until it burned down in the 70's IIRC. Do you know where the Golden Que in North Bergen was? I've read about it but no one remembers the address.

Park Billiards
Yup, 32nd and the Boulevard. Park Lanes bowling and Park Billiards. I think it was built on part of Schuetzen Park and took the name from there. A guy I worked with was on the crew that took the tables out when they closed. While the new shopping center went up, a sign said they would re-open, but that never happened.
