Petition to bring a climbing wall to Hyde Park
Rock climbing has been a popular activity all over the world for many years. Indoor rock climbing is a relatively new activity, but it has been getting increasingly popular in the recent years. More and more rock climbing facilities are opening all over the United States.
Currently there are no climbing gyms on Chicago's South Side. We, the undersigned, would like the University to recognize that there is a considerable demand for a climbing gym among the University community and Hyde Park population, and to get involved in bringing a climbing wall to Hyde Park. A climbing wall on campus will not only benefit current climbing enthusiasts, but also the rest of the community by providing another way to get fit, which is by far much more fun than treadmills or stairmasters.
