Rockwood Common partners with two unique programs to expand access to recreational activities in our communities.
Geer Garage is an outdoor gear sharing marketplace where anyone can rent out their outdoor gear to earn side income. Joining Geer Garage through our affiliate link will support Rockwood Common's programming.
Community Gearbox is an app for building a trust-based network to share your gear for free among friends and neighbors. Only your friends can view your gear.
The Community Gearbox platform supports all types of peer-to-peer sharing, not only outdoor gear! Check them out to start your own sharing network.
At this time, our space is very limited due to our mobile tool truck capacity. As we expand into a future location, we hope to add some durable gear to our lending library.
Durable items like camping stoves and sleeping pads can support recreation AND emergency response. Through Geer Garage, we can lend to own items and grow our inventory. Geer Garage also offers community members the opportunity to experience high-quality gear at a reduced cost to enjoy the outdoors.
Soft gear like sleeping bags or tents will require washing and repair, which we are not equipped to handle at this time. Through these lending platforms, access is expanded to more community members.
