Bouldering Project Brooklyn Unveils Brand-New Gym in Gowanus

Bouldering Project Brooklyn offers a huge space to enjoy bouldering fun, plus kid-friendly classes, summer camps, and more.

Rock climbing is a great way to keep kids active and busy year-round. While we've long frequented these family-friendly rock climbing gyms in New York City, the Bouldering Project Brooklyn just opened a revamped climbing gym in the Gowanus neighborhood.

The Bouldering Project Brooklyn, previously known as Brooklyn Boulders, reopened at the beginning of the year following a substantial renovation and rebranding. The revamped facility merges bouldering with community-focused spaces and expanded youth programs.

I recently checked out the new climbing gym with two 13-year-olds in tow, and we had a blast. Read on for all the details of this new climbing gym and what you need to know to get started with bouldering with your kids.
