It is open to the public 9 a.m.-9 p.m. Monday through Friday, 9 a.m.-10 p.m. Saturday, and noon to 6 p.m. Sunday.

The Rocks & Ropes playground combines modern play with elements of nature, encouraging an active play experience while complementing the nearby Irvine Open Space Preserve hiking and biking trails.
