About The Boulder Garden

The Boulder Garden is an indoor climbing gym in Durham where visitors climb on boulders with routes ranging from V0 to V10 in difficulty. The main climbing wall spans 2,300 square feet with slopes from minus-3 degrees to 80 degrees, including a topout feature and a separate tension board set at 40 degrees. Route setters change the boulder layouts every 25 to 45 days to maintain variety. The gym offers Intro to Climbing Clinics for first-time visitors, Youth Teams and Summer Camps for young climbers, and Birthday Parties. Holiday Youth Camps and 3rd Friday Kids Nights serve families throughout the year. Beyond climbing, the facility includes a 900 square foot basement fitness room with stationary bikes, bench presses, dumbbells, resistance bands, medicine balls, and box jumps, plus a 400 square foot yoga and stretch space. The gym also hosts yoga classes, pinball tournaments, and Ping-Pong competitions. Located in the historic Durham Brazing and Welding building downtown, the space integrates local and international art into its community-focused environment.
