The old Daily News garage on 3rd Avenue and Degraw Street is being turned into Brooklyn Boulders, a rock-climbing gym that will feature a climbable model of the Brooklyn Bride. It’s set to open in July.
The Brooklyn Paper: Lance Pinn said that he and his two partners wanted to bring rock-climbing to Downtown Brooklyn, but didn’t find an adequate spot until they saw the Daily News garage, which is surprisingly cavernous.
“It looks like a 20 foot building [from the outside], but there’s an inset inside that goes up to 30 feet, five inches,” he said.
Such height will be enough to accommodate the center’s biggest architectural flourish: a replica of the Brooklyn Bridge, suitable for climbing.
