Arkose opened its first “blocpark” at the end of December 2013 in a rapidly developing area in eastern Paris: Montreuil. Today Arkose has centres in 6 towns: Montreuil, Bordeaux, Massy, Paris (Nation), Lyon, and Villeurbanne. The group intends to continue its development in France and abroad. Arkose is one of the French leaders in boulder gyms and aims to develop 15 new rooms in France and abroad by 2018. Arkose invites you to experience urban, ethical, aesthetic blocparks that are more than just climbing gyms. They have been designed around the central theme of bouldering, an entertaining fun, friendly, safe sport that anyone can do! Arkose urban gyms are carefully designed to be friendly and welcoming. They are lively urban environments in their own right which convey the Arkose Group’s key values: environmental responsibility, conviviality, proximity and accessibility.
