What's inside
From the reviews
Awesome climbing wall in Steelworkers park. Built into the old steel ore walls. Incredibly cool place to climb. Once you get to the top of the 30 foot wall the views are amazing. Amenities for all types of climbing. Chicago park district hosts open climbs on weekends.
This is a great climbing wall for Chicago. Check the park district website for community climb days when there's someone out there to help with climbing
Routes felt like 5.7-5.8. Autobelays are locked up top. Ability to lead and top rope. Also Boulder.
Such a cool way to utilize the property. If done right you could spend the day here. Pack a light picnic, climb the wall (at your own risk) explore the grounds (16 acres), a bike would be excellent here. Lake Michigan offers fishing and swimming, or just relax by the water. Spend the day here and plan accordingly.
