From the reviews

Here are a few photos of the boulder park build in progress. I think it should be a blast once these walls are climbable. Please use the walls responsibility. These walls were designed to help everyone get access to the fun and challenging sport of climbing.

★★★★★ — Kyle, Apr 2022

Such a fun park to drop in and play. I love how there is a full playground close to the Boulder park so my kids can continue play when they're tired of climbing. Many levels of difficulty too!

★★★★★ — Josiah, May 2023

I love that the routes are numbered. I appreciate that their are so many options and space for many people to participate. It’s fun to keep track of which numbers you can complete and try to improve from there.

★★★★★ — Tatianna, Jul 2023

A great addition to the community. Holds can be tough as you could expect for something that is maintained outside. Really love that anyone has the ability to go climb without needing a membership.
