YMCA King’s Park Centenary Centre — Yau Ma Tei
The highest outdoor rock climbing wall in HK, at a whopping 18 meters high, is located in the King’s Park Centenary Centre. It has 300 square meters of climbing terrain and 30 people can simultaneously climb one of their 15 routes which offer varying degrees of difficulty. It is outdoors, so maybe avoid peak summer times, but climbing enthusiasts should not miss this opportunity to experience “real” climbing, while still ensuring their safety with measures such as wearing harnesses and completing the YMCA’s Climbing Assessment first, to learn safety procedures for lead climbing and top roping. Walk-in fees start at HK$88 for adult members during non-peak hours, and up to HK$146 for non-members during peak hours. If your child is upset about not being able to climb with you, don’t worry – they have a mini indoor climbing wall designed for 3 to 5 year olds.
