    Beautiful large park in a great neighborhood. Never crowded. Great place to take the kids on a sunny day!

    Peter Hill Heritage Park - So cute! Made out of railroad tracks

    Peter Hill Heritage Park

    This park is a visual impact maker! If you can visit during BLOOM season, it is just breathtaking…read more I have shot family photo and senior portraits here, the are SO many wonderful backdrops, colors, textures. It is just a beautiful little park. Small enough to be intimate, and right next to the train tracks which makes for FUN and a super setting for photos. Spring and Fall the colors are amazing, but in summer, the roses ABOUND. I recommend taking a little walk through this old area, and just taking in its splendor.

    This little park is one of the newest in Rocklin and features a covered picnic area, a few benches…read moreand a nice rose garden. The location of the park is exactly where the 1867 Rocklin Roundhouse was located when the transcontinental railroad was being constructed eastward into the Sierra. The park layout recreates the layout of the original roundhouse which included 25 engine stalls and a turntable. The rose garden is planted between railroad rails that have been placed to mimic where the steam engine stalls were once located. What happened to the original roundhouse? Well, early Rocklin suffered from numerous fires (one of the reasons that there are so few buildings left from the 1800's). The roundhouse burned down in 1869, was rebuilt, burned down again in 1873 destroying 10 steam engines. It was then used until about 1908 when operations were moved to Roseville. Within just a few years the roundhouse had become an eyesore and the city required the railroad to demolish it. A portion of the original granite rock wall from the roundhouse is still visible around the western side of the park. This park is just a portion of what will eventually become Rocklin's Heritage Park which will extend across Rocklin Road down Front Street. It will include the fully restored and historic St. Mary's Chapel as well as a recreation of the original 1900 fire house (currently under construction). If you are wondering where downtown Rocklin is located, this was the original heart of the city in the 1800's. It's nice to see that the history of this town is being honored with the construction of this park.

    Ethan was the most wonderful. He remembered names and was positive and encouraging to everyone…read morethroughout our whole experience. He singlehandedly made this experience a 10/10 for all of us.

    We had a field trip there for about 20 students. They started the gear up process late which meant…read morewe got started late. On top of that they were only running 1 of 3 zip lines. About half of the students got to use the zipline before it broke and had to be shut down. They were understaffed for our trip, which meant that students were not able to do the events that we paid for b/c nobody was there to work them. The 2 girls working the ropes course clearly didn't like kids. They were rude and condescending and seemed like they just didn't want to be there. We had one 5th grade girl who was stuck b/c she was too short and the guide shrugged and completely ignored her leaving her stranded and crying. The "hard" route on the ropes course ends with a rappel. It requires kids to detach from the safety line and attach to an auto-belay. The instructions at the belay state "get permission from staff before rappelling." There were no staff anywhere around to get permission from. Students had forgotten the instruction 1.5 hours earlier and were attempting to attach the belay to NON-LOAD BEARING parts of their harness (e.g. the D-ring). This belay is 40-50' up and falling would absolutely be fatal. I decided to stay there and ensure that each student was hooked up correctly before stepping off. Bookmark this review because this place will get someone killed. Despite us starting late, the zipline breaking, and most of the activities being unstaffed, the girl in charge (Sky) shut down the activities at 1:45 into our 2 hour session. I let the lady in charge know about our experience but never heard back from their manager. We're considering disputing the charges since it was a far cry from the experience we were promised. We understand there are risks associated with ropes courses, but their negligence is going to get someone killed.
