Outdoor Climbing Gym Returns to Brooklyn Bridge Park

Apr 13, 2017

North America’s largest outdoor climbing park is returning to Brooklyn Bridge Park on a five-year operating license. The facility will reopen for the season this weekend, and host a Grand Opening on May 6.

Time Out New York reports that rock climbing company The Cliffs opened the outdoor facility, called DUMBO Boulders, on an interim basis last year. The facility welcomed 26,000 climbers during that time.

Users can access the facility for a small daily admission fee, which allows them to climb while enjoying spectacular views of the New York City skyline.
