They have shoe and chalk rental options( but we brought our own. The staff was friendly and gave us a safety debrief and rundown of the space. It's designed super uniquely and has the various walls setup almost in a giant circle and an upstairs section. Their grading scale is based on a range (example: Pink is V0-V2, then blue is V3-V4 - I don't know if that's exactly what they had, but you get the idea), They had some fun route setting, but nothing that super stood out, and a lot of it felt similar. It's a growing community in GR though, so definitely seems like a great addition and very welcomed for local climbers. The space was bright, clean and they offered a hand washing sink along with ample cubbies for storage along every section. I definitely look forward to returning in the future and had fun checking it out.

It's a good spot if you're only looking to climb. They have very soft but fun setting styles. A…read morebunch of amenities along with snacks and drinks. The only downside side is the staff and the community they attract. Most ppl there are very judgmental and the staff picks and chooses who they talk to. If u don't "fit in" u WILL be ignored. This is just their reputation.

I would say Provin Trails is one of my favorite trails in Grand Rapids. Some people might find it…read morestrange that I say that, but let me explain! Provin Trails isn't the biggest trail/park out here. It's not even the most glamorous. But to me, it's one of the most interesting. There are 3-4 different routes you can take, and some are of course more challenging. There are some trails that can be quite steep, and others that are actually more sandy! There is a section in the middle of the trail where you can see some mini sand dunes. I was really not expected that, so it was really cool to see them. There were a good number of people walking their dogs here, so maybe something to note as a dog owner. I would come back here!

I love this place! The Pack is a cool spot for dogs and dog…read morelovers. The space is used as a doggy day care but you can also bring your dog and hang out. Even if you don't have a dog, you can come to chill with doggos and it's not weird at all. There is a large indoor gated area and an outdoor gated area with some seating. There is also an area where dogs aren't allowed with a bar, food, and a sort of gift shop. To bring your dog here, they must be spayed/neutered and up-to-date on vaccinations. You have to pay to bring your dog here and there are punchcards or monthly memberships available. There are staff on duty at all times to help with dog crowd control and keep the chaos to a minimum. I come here a lot and sometimes it's super chill and quiet and other times the dogs are all rowdy and loud. They also do special events like trivia, comedians, and foam parties for the dogs!

We mostly enjoyed this place, but be very careful about which staff you leave your dog with. Not…read moreall employees understand dog behavior, and some clearly do not bother to read a dog's profile. My dog, Mojo, loved coming here, and I liked the restaurant. He can be challenging, but the staff usually contacted me and I handled him without issue. On our last visit, however, the staff claimed he was stressed and tried to calm him by petting him--even though his profile explicitly states he does not tolerate being touched by strangers. If a dog growls and moves away, continuing to pet him is irresponsible.I took Mojo home. The next morning, I received a voicemail saying he was banned. After many positive visits, one encounter with staff who wouldn't adapt to his needs resulted in him being permanently excluded. That's not acceptable.

This is a huge area full of meadows and wooded areas and lots of looping walking trails. Dogs are allowed and must be leashed, so it was the perfect spot for my dog to get some exercise. When you arrive, it feels like you're pulling into a housing development, but there's a small parking lot that leads to the trails ahead. I saw so many mushrooms and wildflowers and chipmunks.
