Bouldering Basics

For the adventurer in the family, North Cary Park offers a pair of bouldering rocks for those who wish to put their climbing skills to the test. The two man-made rocks are eight feet tall at the highest point and are joined in the middle.

Recreation Manager Dwayne Jones says the rocks are designed for all ages and skill levels. “The nice thing about it is that it is used by more experienced climbers to practices traversing the rocks. They fine-tune their technique and work on different holds and foot positioning by working their way around the rocks. The less experienced climbers and the younger crowd typically make it their goal to climb to the top.”

The park is open from sunrise to sunset and is free to the public. Supervision for children is recommended, as this is an unstaffed facility, but there is a protective soft surface below the rocks.
