For liability reasons only our equipment may be used in the parks. Those with their own harnesses and helmets are asked to please leave them at home.

All safety equipment is inspected daily by our staff to ensure that it is in safe working order. All helmets are disinfected after each use.

Gloves are not mandatory, however many people do prefer to use them. You are welcome to bring your own gloves (tight fitting gardening or cycling gloves work best), or you can purchase them at the park for $2.50.

Mandatory Safety Orientation

All participants must take part in an approximately 20 minute safety orientation before each visit. Our guide swill explain to you the rules of the park and show you how to safely use your equipment.

What to Wear

For your visit it is best to wear comfortable athletic clothing suitable for the temperatures that day. Pants, capris or shorts, and long or short sleeved T-shirts work best.

You must wear close-toed shoes for your climb. Running or hiking shoes work well. Persons wearing sandals or open shoes will not be permitted on the courses.

If you have long hair you will be required to tie it back to prevent it from getting caught in the equipment.

Gloves are not mandatory but are strongly recommended.

Since we do climb rain or shine a rain jacket and change of clothing is a good idea when showers are expected.

Personal Items

All personal effects must be left in the car. We therefore recommend only bringing what is necessary.
