These are some Artificial Climbing Walls In Mumbai:
- Nandadeep School – Goregaon: Also Known as the Arun Samant Wall is in the campus of the Nandadeep School. This wall is open in the evenings and has an active community of climbers and charges very nominal fees.
- Hakone Entertainment Centre, Hiranandani Gardens, Powai: The wall here is also open in the evenings.
- Savarkar Vyayam mandir – Shivaji Park, Dadar: The wall here is open only to members. However, membership is not expensive.
Other walls are in educational institutions like Wellingkar Management Institute, Viva College (Virar), etc. An increasing number of educational organizations are now showing interest in developing climbing walls.
Still others are private walls in Gyms. Gold’s Gym in Bandra has one, so does Fitness Life in Borivali among many others. It could be a good idea to simply join a gym with a climbing wall. There should be one nearby no matter where you live.

Just wanted to find out, is the climbing wall at Shivaji park still open? I live in Bandra and a climbing wall at Shivaji Park would be really convenient for me. If anyone could help me out, i would be really obliged. I searched on the net, but this is the only place that mentions there being a wall at Shivaji Park.
Thanks,
Nimoy.

Yes, as far as I know, its open. However, use is limited to members of the Samartha Vyayam Mandir (Indian exercise gym) there, so you will have to become a member. However, it is very cheap, so its not going to cost you a fortune and opens possibilities for other things like mallakhamb, gymnastics, etc too. Its wonderful. Go there between 7pm and 8pm and ask to meet Ajit Kushe. You can mention me if needed.
