Suburban Boulder is a bouldering area in Ohio, about a mile from the town of Sunnyland. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with MRG Southeast (aka Darkside) and Fern Buttress all within a tenth of a mile. The area is small, with five boulder problems, and the routes run from V0 up to V3+. Springfield Wtp, a nearby weather station about 5 miles away, gives typical averages that point to late spring and early fall as the most comfortable times to go. May highs average around 73°F and September highs around 78°F, with July the warmest month at about 84°F. The routes here are all boulders, and the grade range is V0 to V3+. The easiest is 401k at V0, and the hardest is Reza’s Hole at V3+. The other problems are 1.5 Kids (V1-2), Uptight Neighbors (V1) and Remy's Spuddies (V2-). Cj Brown Dam And Reservoir - Dam Site, about 6.5 miles away, offers lake fishing. Inman Trail and Pine Forest Trail are both about 8 miles off for hiking, and the Little Miami River, roughly 10 miles away, is a paddling option.
