Our comment from FitFit Australia about Portside Boulders Osborne Park:
Portside Boulders in Osborne Park offers an excellent environment for both beginners and seasoned climbers alike. With friendly staff who are eager to assist and explain the difficulty system, newcomers feel welcomed and supported. The atmosphere is described as fun and laid back, fostering a strong community spirit among climbers.
Visitors appreciate the challenging climbing routes that cater to various skill levels, and the facilities are well-equipped with training options such as beastmakers, kilter boards, and campus rungs. Many users noted that the cafe serves excellent coffee and offers a cozy place to relax after a climbing session.
However, some feedback pointed out that there are a few areas for improvement, including the need for better ventilation and an upgrade to changing room facilities. A few users also felt that the variety of route styles could be expanded beyond the prevailing comp style.
Overall, Portside Boulders is regarded as the top bouldering gym in Perth, providing a welcoming and challenging space for climbers of all ages and abilities.
Portside Boulders Osborne Park: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Staff are very friendly and explained the difficulty system to a first timer. The routes are challenging whilst also still being fun to climb
Thanks Luke, hope to see you again soon.
Fantastic experience: ily portside
Positive experience: It has a friendly atmosphere but a lot of the holds were severely covered with shoe rubber and there doesnt seem to be much variety in the route styles, theyre either jug ladders or all out dyno campusing comp style boulders so if you're into that sort of thing then it's good
We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the friendly atmosphere at our gym! Thank you again for your feedback. We’re always striving to improve and hope to welcome you back soon.
Fantastic experience: Been climbing here pretty much since it opened- fun vibes, chill staff, great climbs. Never disappoints ✌️
Thanks for the kind words Tom!
Fantastic experience: Visited this gym yesterday and it is an excellent facility. Fun setting, good training area, and most importantly, it has great crowd! Also the coffees here are excellent too! Training area has beastmakers, various edges, kilter board, moonboard, splatter board and campus rungs. Amazing! Changing room and toilet facilities could do with an upgrade and they should get lockers or lockable cages too.
Thank you, we are happy to hear you enjoyed your experience and we will pass your feedback on.
Fantastic experience: Great space with plenty of training options. Nice and quiet too.
Thank you!
Positive experience: Visiting from a country town and wanted something different for our teenagers to experience. Great equipment and very friendly fellow climbers willing to help out first timers. Unfortunately, very little guidance or instruction in how to use the course from staff, they seemed in a hurry to get back to the front desk so they could continue chatting. We felt like our questions and inexperience were a bother to the guy who served us. Be aware they do not accept cash either, only card, which seems a little exclusive. Perhaps we didn’t fit their preferred demographic, but for a club that has posters everywhere declaring how inclusive they are, we felt rather excluded.
Hi Cherith, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed our equipment and found our community of climbers welcoming. We were surprised to hear about the oversight in staff guidance during your visit, as our team is typically more than happy to assist with any bouldering related questions, or that of our facility in general. In regards to the confusion regarding payment, while we do accept cash, it’s possible that our cash register may have been closed early during your visit. We have reminded our staff of both of the issues you recently experienced to help prevent these issues from happening again. We hope you will consider visiting us again in the future.
Fantastic experience: Nice people work there
Thanks so much!
Fantastic experience: I've been a climber of the gym since it first opened. The staff are friendly, there's always a good variety of holds and the atmosphere is generally chill and welcoming. One thing that needs to be improved is the internal airflow/ventilation. I know its still winter and a bit colder, but often times I'm noticing there's a haze of chalk dust suspended in the air - which like any particulate, can't be good to breathe long-term. Just a suggestion, a bit of fresh air and ventilation can't hurt
Hey Joshua, thanks for taking the time to review our gym! We're really happy to hear you've been climbing with us for so long. We'll definitely look into improving the ventilation. It's important to us that everyone has a comfortable and healthy experience here. Thanks again for your feedback!
Fantastic experience: great little gaff for a climb. staff are friendly, there’s always a new wall every week, and everyone is helpful and approachable. the climbs are inventive and good for all levels. beers go down well after too.
Hey Nick, we're glad you had a great time and look forward to seeing you back at Portside!
Fantastic experience: Great bouldering, awesome music and fantastic staff
Thanks so much!
Fantastic experience: It's always so nice to go there! The people are friendly and the staff is awesome!! 10/10
Fantastic experience: クライミングウォールはボルダリングのみで、リードクライミングはないクライミングジムです。 課題は結構豊富で、スラブからルーフまで揃っており、初心者から玄人まで幅広く楽しむことができます。 クラシックな課題から動きのある課題まであって、とても楽しめました。 店内にはちょっとしたバーもあり、ビールなんかを楽しむこともできるようなので、次行ったときは、登り終わりに少し飲んでみたい。
Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere, awesome variety of boulders and styles. Close to the city and well worth a visit. The mystery boulders were a hit
Fantastic experience: Amazing facilities. Almost empty at 6am, making it a great time for new climbers when everyone else there is on the harder boulders.
Positive experience: Great rock climbing venue! Decent variety and interesting climbs.
Negative experience: Climbing and atmosphere is great... But Jesus Christ could the indoor of the gym be any hotter??
Hi Alexander, we are sorry to hear about your experience. Please know that we are always trying our best to improve our facilities, so your feedback is appreciated and will be passed on.
Fantastic experience: The best place for climbing and training. Best shop for climbing shoes. I just hope, if one day they will put more stuff on the campus board, and bit more bigger area for hangboards.....and guys, the musics, sometimes it seems to be in spa.....
Thanks for your feedback Roberto! We've passed your feedback onto ther rest of our team.
Fantastic experience: Awesome atmosphere, love the study area. Super comfy. The sets were good, I feel like some of the holds could do with a good clean, but overall really nice. Super spacious gym, with a huge weights area!
Fantastic experience: Welcoming, low pressure bouldering environment that also offers a good challenge in terms of route setting
Negative experience: Good facilities but the grading scale system is terrible. Please go back to the V system.
Fantastic experience: Visited Portside Boulders for the first time recently under a friends free visitor pass. Was a great experience being introduced to bouldering here, had a quick induction with the staff, hired some shoes and got going after a simple and easy registration. Easy for beginners, with wall markings colour coordinated. Love that it’s dog friendly too with beds, bowls and places to tie the leash
We're so glad you enjoyed your exprience with us Amelia! Can't wait to see you back again :)
Fantastic experience: Good little climbing gym with a good training area. Reasonable pricing and enjoyed the free liquid chalk dispensers throughout the place
Fantastic experience: Great park.
Fantastic experience: Always a great selection of climbs, know matter what skill level. Wonderful facilities
Fantastic experience: First time climbing!!! Amazing experience!!
Positive experience: Good! Good gym area, smallish amount of problems though
Positive experience: This place is sick the amount of boulders so many to chose from
Positive experience: The building is great, super spacious. Cute cafe and shop with tons of stock - I recommend having a look at the tote bags. Lots of couches around and space to chill in between climbs which is a nice touch. There’s a few walls that are filled nicely but the range of climbs available are not the best. Very much a comp style throughout every problem which I wish would be varied more. Pretty much everything is sandbagged and most routes have a dyno element, which isn’t ideal if you prefer a static style of climbing. The gym has almost everything you could need. Mirrors would make it even better :) If you’re looking at bringing kids here, it’s a solid idea. Plenty of small kids climbs and you can take them to the cafe when they run out of energy. All in all it’s a good gym!
Hi Sara, we appreciate your feedback and have passed it onto the setting team for consideration. Thanks and hope to see you back at Portside!
Fantastic experience: Love this place. Friendly and a great place to go bouldering. Change of 25% of climbs every week (mostly) makes it a bit different all the time. Good excersise. AND Evert makes a great coffee!!
Fantastic experience: Could you please fix the broken sliding window so you can air the gym
Fantastic experience: Best indoor bouldering north of the river.
Fantastic experience: Was good
Fantastic experience: Can’t believe we only just found this amazing bouldering gym
Fantastic experience: Strong contender for best boulder gym in Perth. The lay out allows for space between climbers which I prefer. Few good beers on tap for after too
We really appreciate hearing this James, and look forward to seeing you again at Ossie Park!
Fantastic experience: Great gym, constantly updated. Extra shout out to the girl working this evening - took a lot of time out of a busy shift to help me find a pair of shoes to buy that I'd be happy with. :)
Thanks Callum! We hope you love your shoes!
Fantastic experience: Best boulder setting
Positive experience: Interesting range of climbing walls.
Fantastic experience: Awesome place to climb. Laid back vibe. My go to hang out and training place.
Thanks Joel, we hope to see you back again soon!
Negative experience: One more star removed because you can’t pause the ticket when you are sick or injured… Boulders are high quality but the setters are not really too creative with the technique, most of the time it’s only pure strength. Music is not too bad although it would’ve been great if the same Mac miller album wasn’t played in a loop all day long . However I don’t see Mac miller fitting to a workout where you need something more energetic. They really should pay more attention to the choice of music fitting for sport not for the joint afterwards ;)
Hi there, sorry to hear about your experience at our gyms. We have always allowed pauses/suspensions with a valid medical certificate, and the staff will generally inform people that this is the case. The setting team work hard to create fun and creative problems for people of all abilities, with people of many heights testing the boulders prior to finalising - however we understand that we don't always get it right. We do have an email to send through any constructive feedback to help improve our setting: [email protected]. If you would like to suspend in future, please don't hesitate to contact us at [email protected]. We hope this helps!
Fantastic experience: Excellent fun, great customer service. First time I went had an introduction, it is very cheap to hire shoes and the mats are very soft. The rock climbing community is very welcoming and the experienced guys are happy to help show you how to climb up a wall. This sport will destroy your ego, I am a decently strong guy and struggles to get past V4 when the levels go up to v10. The cafe there is amazing as well, lots of goodies and smoothies and boardgames to keep you entertained when you have a break. You get a day pass however I get very fatigued and tired after about an hour. 10/10 would highly recommend for all ages as there are kids courses and pro ones aswell.
Thanks 'Slez Master', we're so glad to hear you've had a great time - we hope to see you back again soon!
Fantastic experience: Climbs, vibe, beers - what more do you want?!
Thanks so much Jason!! See you at Portside :D
Positive experience: Big space with lots of range in route types. Can get very busy after work hours. Holds definitely need to be scrubbed more often.
Fantastic experience: Five
Fantastic experience: so far so goooood
Fantastic experience: Great spot. Friendly staff. Good vibe all around
Fantastic experience: Having lead climbed for about 6 months now, I never bouldered before as the walls and matt at my local weren't appealing. Had my first day at Portside today and have to say that I loved it. Great equipment, the staff was fantastic and the vibe was super friendly and laid back all for decent fee. I'll become a regular for sure. Try it !
Thanks for your kind words Roland! We hope you've been enjoying Portside and hope to see you back here soon.
Fantastic experience: Pretty good vibes here at this bouldering gym ♂️. Lots of different inclinations on the boulder wall. Nice change rooms; has a ☕️ coffee machine; tables to sit down and chat. You could probably work remotely from here and pad the day out with some bouldering. Make the best use of that entry fee.
Fantastic experience: Great facility with lots of challenges for all abilities. There seems to be a great community vibe going on to which I hadn’t expected as a newby.
Fantastic experience: Elle in front desk was so lovely! Would definitely recommend this gym.
Fantastic experience: I've been a member of Portside boulders since it opened, and love the vibe of climbing there! The boulder problems are varied (although definitely largely in the modern and comp style, with a preference for powerful moves over slab or techy stuff) and change frequently. The atmosphere is great, and a real community has been built up around it! My favourite of all the climbing gyms in Perth.
Fantastic experience: Awesome facilities, great place to hang out.
Fantastic experience: Love it here! Great atmosphere, safe and fun way to be fit.
Thanks for your review, Sara! We're glad you're enjoying Portside.
Fantastic experience: Be warned, bouldering is addicting. First it starts with the Intro Pack, then next thing you know you've committed to an annual membership and bought a pair of shoes
It sure is addicting! Glad to hear you're having a great time at Portside, Brandon.
Fantastic experience: Great visit today. Staff are very helpful and know their stuff. Definitely recommend for a single or group event. The climbing community is really friendly, except in competitions recommend as a sport or activity.
Fantastic experience: Top bouldering in Perth. I'd say it was a hard wall if you were a complete beginner but still enough choice for a fun time. Nice for a beer after too. Music choice used to be a bit more consistently solid though when the owner was there, not sure people want super chill music when climbing.
Fantastic experience: Good problems, good cafe area, good shop. It's good.
Fantastic experience: Great friendly welcoming atmosphere
Fantastic experience: Great climbing and atmosphere.
Fantastic experience: Fun climbs, great cafe and an awesome vibe.
Fantastic experience: Excellent taste in music! Super friendly and great routes.
Fantastic experience: Great place, they were really polite and helpful. There a routes for all ages and skills, we took our 5 year olds and they had a blast for 2 hrs. Nice little snack cafe for rest bites as well
Positive experience: Its a good place Doesnt have a whole lot of boulders though
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff. Good music. Gym section. Selling beer, coffee and cakes. Cozy couch. Nice area to boulder. Reasonable price. Not smelly or stinky.
Fantastic experience: Awesome staff, awesome vibe and awesome climbs!
Fantastic experience: Excellent bouldering - always good problems to work on, really well maintained and clean. Feels spacious even when busy
Fantastic experience: The bouldering gym in Perth! Great amenities, gym, elastic bands, the bouldering itself is epic!
Fantastic experience: Love this place!! Affordable, great facilities and challenging. Always feel well worked out after each bouldering session and is nice to sit down for a tea/coffee after a climb.
Fantastic experience: Love it! People are nice and place is great
Fantastic experience: Great time was had by all
Fantastic experience: The holds were a bit on the rougher side. But it was still a great time.
Fantastic experience: Great facilities! Very open, spacious, with a great atmosphere. Parking was initially deceptive as you need to pull in and around. Look forward to revisiting in the future :) Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: Love this place. Great technical walls and atmosphere. Cheap introductory price too. First 3 visits for $50.
Positive experience: Usually plenty of space to climb without waiting. Lacking wall diversity though. Really good training facilities.
Fantastic experience: Best bouldering spot in Perth. Super friendly vibe and great routes
Fantastic experience: Love the space, the equipment, bouldering and gym, everything was there. The bathroom floor is a little wet and you can't adjust the moon board to different degrees
Hi Woody, thanks for taking the time to give us your feedback! We will take in all on board. Moon boards are standardised with a choice to be built at 40 or 25 degrees. We too wish it was adjustable! Maybe one day...! We hope you enjoyed your visit nonetheless, and we will see you soon!
Fantastic experience: Great service and challenging walls.
Thanks for the review Jason. Look forward to seeing you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Best bouldering gym in WA :) (haven't been to the hub though)
Thank you Natalya! We do our best!
Positive experience: New climbing spot in Osbourne Park. Friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere make for a good climbing spot.
Cheers Chris
Fantastic experience: I've been waiting years for Perth to have a boulder hall like this. Thanks for making it happen.
We are stoked to be here and growing our awesome community. Thanks for the review
Fantastic experience: Great facility, everything you need for beginner to advanced rock climbing.
Thank you Ben!
Fantastic experience: Lots of really fun routes. Floors are a little hard but they'll soften. Holds are a little rough but they'll smoothen. Friendly staff & guests, good lighting, and all around nice aesthetics; just really well managed, like the other portside. Will only get better with the addition of a water dispenser and more food and drink options.
Cheers Sky! We now have the water dispenser plus more food and drinks see you soon!
Fantastic experience: Such a great space for a beginner like me. The staff a super friendly and knowledgeable, the gym has a great atmosphere and it's a big space that even at busier times never feels crowded. If you're thinking about starting to climb I would highly recommend Portside Boulders in Osborne Park.
Thanks for the glowing review, Andrea! See you in real soon ☕️
Fantastic experience: Awesome staff, very helpful and friendly.
Thanks Canaan!
Fantastic experience: Mwah
Fantastic experience: Lads she's beautiful.
