Sega Park Reading was an indoor Sega Park arcade located in Reading Super Bowl on Pincents Lane, Reading, United Kingdom. The arcade opened along with the Super Bowl on February 18th, 1994[1]. In 1995 a Daytona USA contest was held there[2], with a Sega Rally contest being held the following year.[3]
In late 1995 the Sega Park was refurbished[2][4]
It is unknown when the venue closed, although it was likely closed before the Leisure Exchange purchase of the Sega arcades in 2000. The Sonic carpet remained in the venue, however. [5]
The building later became Reading Megabowl, then Reading Bowl, and finally in 2014 was demolished to make way for an Ikea.
