Description 

This former granite quarry that is now a community park has several 15-25 foot high boulders with a variety of problems ranging from V0 to V8+. A decent amount of shade makes climbing possible even on moderately hot days, but since this is the Central Valley you might want to limit your summer climbing here to mornings. Despite traffic noise from the nearby street, it's actually a nice little park. Some parts of it are pretty badly trashed, but the more open areas are clean and many of the boulders have flat landing areas.

Getting There 

From I-80 about 20 miles east of Sacramento, take exit 108 for Rocklin Road. Head west a little under a mile and turn left on Pacific St. The park is on the right about 1/4 mile down just after Rocklin Rock and just before the Goodyear Tire store. Parking can be found on Farron (1st R turn after the park), or if you have high clearance you could drive back along the train tracks to the back side of the park. If you are discreet and/or want to ask nicely, you could probably get away with parking behind Goodyear.
