Si View Metropolitan Park District and the City of North Bend extend their sincere gratitude to the incredible community volunteers who dedicated their time and energy this fall to revitalize the Torguson Park Climbing Wall.
Originally constructed in 2009 to commemorate the City of North Bend’s Centennial, the climbing structure has now undergone a significant transformation, thanks to the efforts of local volunteers. Over the past several months, volunteers contributed a total of 183 hours to refresh the wall, resulting in a safer, more engaging, and inclusive climbing experience for all.
Key improvements include:
- Installation of 450 new handhold back plates
- Removal of nearly all old glue-in bolts
- Installation of 200 new handholds
The volunteer effort was led by Cindy and Michael Gaudio, whose leadership and enthusiasm inspired others to join the project. As work progressed, the climbing wall became a hub of activity, drawing interest from parkgoers and encouraging additional community participation.
The updated climbing wall now features:
- Bouldering routes around the entire structure
- New full-height routes on all wall faces
- A design focus on inclusivity, with routes suitable for climbers of all abilities
Si View Metropolitan Park District is proud to support community-driven projects that enhance public spaces and promote active lifestyles. The revitalized climbing wall is now open and ready for use, residents and visitors alike are encouraged to stop by and experience the improvements firsthand.
