Memory Boulder is a bouldering area in Florida, set within Chapmans Pond at Kanapaha Park on city land. It is a small, compact spot with two boulder problems, both rated V1 and V2 on the V scale, and it works well as a short stop for climbers who want to pair a bouldering session with a walk or a visit to another climbing area nearby. The two routes here are both boulders. Easy Spiral is V1, and The Eye is V2. Both were first ascended on August 12, 2019. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Gainesville show March highs around 77°F and October highs around 83°F, while July and August average highs near 92°F. Several other outdoor spots are close by. Split Rock Conservation Area Trail and Main Trail are both about 1.2 miles away, and Lexington Crossing, a climbing area, is about 3.3 miles off. The University of Florida climbing area is about 5 miles away.
