1 / 2Bouldering Project - Gowanus
π Brooklyn, NY
Modern bouldering gym in a renovated Brooklyn garage with dedicated youth climbing areas, after-school programs, and yoga classes. Perfect for families wanting to try rock climbing together.
My family and I really love coming here! The after school programs, weekend sessions, and camps for youths are well run and our kids really enjoy the climbing counselors energy and guidance. I decided to become a member just based on the yoga classes, but have delved into climbing as well. The yoga classes are my favorite though and every instructor I've practiced with is exceptional, fun and challenging! It's a very warm and welcoming community!
π Family Action Verdict
Perfect for families with kids 6+ who want to try rock climbing in a supportive environment. The after-school programs and camps are particularly strong, and parents can join yoga or climbing classes while kids participate. Note that this is bouldering-focused without traditional top-rope climbing.

βIβm so grateful to have found this studio. The teachers are incredible, and the way they guide each class, both technically and energetically, always makes me feel welcome and happy to be there β£οΈ The community events are also such a beautiful addition. They create space for real connection and a sense of community that every human being needs (especially the ones that just moved to the city ππΎββοΈ). Thank you all for this beautiful space π₯°β

βWe loved this place. All the instructors and stuff are incredible and friendly. Our 6-year-old daughter took two seasons of rock climbing classes, and her skill, strength, strategy, and persistence strengthened as she progressed through these classes. 100% recommended! The classes last long enough for the little ones to develop the techniques they've learned. The most important thing is that our daughter is always happy to attend classes!β

βNice facilities! While it doesnβt have top-roping anymore, everything else about Bouldering Project seems superior to the old Brooklyn Boulders. BP seems well run. The mats gets vacuumed every night. The gym equipment looks clean and organized. The circuit system rating seems pretty on point. Iβve enjoyed my membership and following through on my 2026 goals.β
