Playground Boulders
Enjoy the Outdoors: Fun Landscapes for the Park or the Home
Rockwerx Outdoor Playground Boulders bring all the excitement and natural beauty of climbing on real rock straight to a public playground or your home’s backyard. Many climbers out there have said that bouldering is climbing distilled to its purest form, and we see this everyday with kids who “boulder” up and around anything they can get their hands on. Open park spaces can be filled with these artistically sculpted formations to add variety and beauty to a green landscape, while also creating the opportunity for young people to learn balance and coordination. In large part because of its accessibility and social atmosphere, indoor bouldering has already swept the nation as an increasingly popular form of climbing for everyone, and our unique Playground Boulders are a brilliant way to combine the beauty and aesthetics of outdoor climbing and the simplicity and friendly texture, angles, and forms we find on indoor walls.

The Natural Playground Experience
Our Playground Boulders put traditional jungle gyms to shame! For public spaces, these boulders can provide a fun, challenging, and mentally stimulating activity for children while adding to the beauty of the natural environment. Whether incorporated into original landscape design for parks and recreation to maintain or enhance a beautiful landscape, or if added to an existing play area for parks or the home, the Playground Boulders can be a great natural and fun addition to your outdoor space.
In and Around a Playground Boulder
Our Playground Boulders are constructed of a unique combination of our Natural and framed Gym Rock wall systems. Our design and construction crew uses the best of both these systems along with personal consultations and customized designs to construct an incredible work of art with each boulder.
The result is an unbelievably lifelike and durable boulder, climbable from every angle at varying degrees of difficulty. Unlike other manufactures, we design all of our outdoor climbing walls to be completely scalable without bolt-on climbing holds but we also have the ability to add holds to provide additional climbing routes. Our boulders come complete with all of the cracks, bulges, crimps, and slopers of real rock. We will be surprised if you have seen a more natural looking product on the market, and priced so affordably. With four different sizes currently in production ranging from 3' to 8' in height, the range of options is excellent, whether for the toddler always eager to grab and pull, to older kids or adults who want the challenge of using climbing skills to get up and over and overhang to stand on top.
Our Playground Boulders can be crafted to fill in nearly any shape, space, and budget. As with all of our walls, our goal is to provide you with the best climbing product, customized for your particular interests. Please see below for information on boulder sizing, or contact us for more information.
Product Advantage
Our Natural Rock Light is the most durable and realistic artificial surface in the industry. The surface is a composite polymer with fiberglass backing. Our rock surface is protected under US Patent. The patented process provides a UV stable surface that looks new long past the 5 year warranty. Our product is not affected by extreme climate change and will withstand freeze / thaw cycles unlike the way that the harder (brittle) concrete based GFRC product will. Chemicals and water minerals will not affect the surface or color of the rock. Unlike other products, our surface will not leach, lime or display calcium buildup. It is inert and will resist the buildup of algae and other organic growth. In fact you can power wash the wall up to 2500 psi. If for some reason a piece of wall chips it will look exactly the same because the color is infused throughout. Our rock surface is super lightweight which allows us to create super angles and features that could not be reproduced with heavier products. The rock surface has been wind rated up to 210 MPH and ASTM tested with a comprehensive strength of 17,000 psi.
Optional Modular Hold Package with Threadings
Choose this option and we include a package of removable climbing holds with internal threading to connect the holds. Holds can be added and removed to provide for additional climbing routes. The holds are typically colored to match the tones of the rock surface but we can provide them in bright colors upon request.
X LARGE Playground Boulder
Dimensions: 8' wide x 12' long x 8' tall
Price: $18,250.00
Optional modular hold package with threadings: Add $3,750.00
The XL Playground Boulder is built to offer the full range of the climbing experience. With a mushroom type shape, eight feet tall and twelve feet long, this wall will stand out as a bold feature of any outdoor landscape, and will also provide the most diversity in terms of climbing terrain. Designed to range in difficulty from one side to another, the climbing experience will vary depending on where you start on the boulder or what type of angle you want to climb. You can ascend the section of wall that leans in as a slab, or climb a more vertical section, an arête, pull a heel hook to top out on the overhang, or traverse the entire wall – all on the natural features. Because it also offers the greatest amount of climbing square footage, the XL Playground Boulder may be the best product to add the modular climbing hold option to, for more diversity in moveable holds and climbing options.
LARGE Playground Boulder
Dimensions: 6' wide x 8' long x 6' tall
Price: $9,300.00
Optional modular hold package with threadings: Add $2,000.00
Only a bit smaller than the XL version, the Large Playground Boulder is big enough for adults to play and share the climbing experience with their kids, but nearly half the cost. Planned so that taller climbers can have fun traversing or climbing atop the boulder, the Large Playground Boulder is also designed so that children can reach friendly grabs in different parts of the wall, and pull themselves up with relative ease, then move to another section for more of a challenge. With a big enough profile so that multiple kids can climb or sit at the top comfortably, this version will be fun for many… at the same time!
MEDIUM Playground Boulder
Dimensions: 5' wide x 6' long x 4'6" tall
Price: $4,130.00
Optional modular climbing hold package with threadings: Add $1,000.00
The Medium Playground Boulder has numerous ledges, lips, and angles for those of us three feet tall or under to take the challenge to ascend. It also is the perfect size for a nice rest. Just like when you are out on a hike and need a break, you’ll look for just the right spot to sit and relax. The Medium Boulder is compactly shaped to fit into relatively smaller spaces than the two larger versions, and still provide the unique look and function everyone kids can enjoy.
Dimensions: 3' wide x6' long x 3' tall
Price: $2,390.00
Optional modular climbing hold package with threadings: Add $600.00
Whether to meet the constraints of budget, space, or to provide just the right size for your kids’ playground, the smallest of our Playground Boulders is fantastic for young children. With safety in mind, especially smooth curves and subtle changes in the rock angle are designed to minimize the chances of injury from a child from grabbing or hitting a sharp edge.
