Confirmed from Slick Rock Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Park featuring a 9-foot-tall rock-climbing wall and loop path.
What runners say about Slick Rock Park
“Just wish all the people who walk their dogs there would clean up after their dogs!”
“Beautiful beautiful Park in the lower basin across from the dinosaur museum great for kids better for dogs and perfect adults.”
“A great seating area for family gatherings with shade and large tables and shade.”
“The park contains two artificial boulders that are a great climbing challenge for all ages and abilities.”
Super fun unique park! Bring your little climbers and turn them loose! (Check out our 360º photo) Two big climbing boulders and a beautiful nature walking path. Adventure meets neighborhood park.
Small but nice park. They have restrooms, paved walking trails, a climbing rock, covered picnic area. The park is clean and wheelchair accessible and dog friendly.
Great little park full of walking trails with a stream flowing through it. There is a lot of wildlife, including frogs and roadrunners. This is a good park for people wanting to walk, jog, board, skate, or bike, but does not have a lot of open grassy areas to play sports.
This was a fun free activity to try. My sister and I each took our 3 kids ranging in age from 4-11 yrs. It was too hard for little kids. Age 8 or up could scramble their way to the top by climbing up the down climb. The actual climbing holds and bouldering routes seemed to me to be about V1, V2, V3 or harder.
