INTRODUCTORY CLIMBING PARK HOURS
Questions or concerns about the ASI Poly Escapes Climbing Park? Need extra support? Look no further! Every Tuesday and Thursday, from 1–3 p.m. is Introductory Hours at the Climbing Park. With support from a Poly Escapes staff member, our hope is to break down the intimidation of using the park for the first time. No registration necessary, just check in at the ASI Poly Escapes Rental Center!
Belay Classes
Learn how to safely facilitate top rope climbing for yourself and friends with a belay class at the ASI Poly Escapes Climbing Park! The cost is $15 per class. All equipment provided. Check-in at the Poly Escapes Rental Center and wear pants or shorts that allow you to comfortably wear a harness.
Equipment
We provide the guidance and the gear! At the Poly Escapes Rental Center, you’ll receive a climbing harness, climbing shoes, and a wristband for your climbing session. To avoid fees, return any gear to the rental center on the same day of your visit.
Training & Certifications
Register for one of our quarterly belay qualification courses.

The Climbing Park is closed during rainy/wet weather due to safety. The park will reopen once the climbing holds are dry.
