The King's Park Outdoor climbing wall is in Jordan at the 'new' YMCA facility next to the India club along Gascoigne Road. It is the highest artificial climbing wall in Hong Kong at 18m high and has a 2m long roof about 7m from the ground. Routes are marked out using different colours and there are routes of various difficulty with the easiest ones being on the far right.

Getting there:

Take the MTRC to Jordan and leave at exit B2. Walk along Jordan Road to the junction and cross onto Gascoigne Road and walk past the India club and up the stairs. From the MTR exit you should be able to see the wall ahead of you.
