Rock Rimmon Park — Attraction in Manchester

I am on the fence about this park. I'll start with what is good 👍 about visiting. A family park that also encourages community activities with pickleball courts and a basketball 🏀 court. A large playground for kids. Trash 🗑️ cans and porta potties available. You can bring Fido here. Now the bad 😞 news 📰. There shouldn't be so much litter 🚯 with all of the trash cans available! The "Rock 🪨", which has nothing cooking on it, is a challenging climb on the way up and down 👇, which is good. But the graffiti, trash, remnants of homeless encampments and broken glass was disgusting! It takes away from the enjoyment of the great views at the top 🔝 of the Rock. It will take a huge effort to clean 🫧 🪥 this area up! It will probably require closer monitoring with drones even though I am not a big fan of being under surveillance all of the time. We are supposed to be stewards of this planet. It is disheartening to see 🙈 such disregard for what we have. I recommend the ground level but the Rock was very...

Rock Rimmon is a local Manchester favorite. The park itself rates approximately four stars. However, if you take a short walk to the top. You will have an amazing view of the entire city! Because of the view on top of the mountain I'm giving Rock Rimmon a solid five stars! I highly recommend checking out this amazing view if you're ever in the area! It's breathtaking! If you're not familiar with the area, finding where you actually need to park might be frustrating. The directions I got from Google (along with a couple of street signs) pointed us to the Rock Rimmon soccer field, which is not accessible (there's an actual gate that's closed), leaving you wondering how you actually get to the park. We went back East on Bremer streets for 6 blocks and found park access on the left. If you're GPSing or getting directions online, I would look up "Dupont Pool" instead of Rock...

Amazing place and great for learning the ropes of rock climbing. Unfortunately, it’s in the middle of a bad area. Glass and plastic are abundant, and occasionally even needles. I go here and climb often, but be careful. If you do climb here, know what you’re doing and grab each hold carefully. There may be glass on them. Try and go mid-day, and never stay out past night time. There’s usually people playing on the playgrounds and playing pickle ball. If you can, set your anchors and have someone up top watching them if you want to top rope. Some clueless teen or someone with bad intent may attempt to dismantle it if they feel like it. My main point. Try to always be in control while climbing, and be careful. There’s so many good routes here, and if more people cared it’d be such a great place to learn...
