Rock Climb
Phil Baux park has your typical park equipment such as a playground, swing set, small picnic shelter, 8 picnic tables, horseshoe pits and plenty of green grass for other recreational activities.
What really makes this park unique is the Teton Boulder Project which consists of 3 large rock climbing structures. The structures are about 12 feet high and consist of natural style ledges and cracks as well as the screw on holds. There are overhangs and ascents. There are several marked routes. Skill levels range from the most beginner to the most advanced rock climbers.
Alongside the rock climbing walls is a memorial dedicated to those loved ones that have been lost to the mountains.
