Bloomington Petroglyph Park

"This was a bit strange. We were expecting more of a park like place. It is the size of a one house lot. There is a big rock with petroglyphs on and that is it. Nothing else, no restrooms, no picnic tables, no playground. Just a big rock. It was fun to see."

"This tiny, very organic piece of desert, is tucked inside a beautiful neighborhood. The joy of seeing these incredible petroglyphs quite erases the fact that there are NO amenities in this little park: no restroom, no picnic tables, no playground, no water fountain. This little park was carved out of this residential area solely to preserve these amazing carvings from long ago! Glad I visited!"

"So glad we came! It was a quick and easy stop, very accessible as a quick detour. Websites say the carvings were made by the Anasazi, and that several smoothed out hollows in the stone could have been used to grind grain. We saw many spirals, human figures, deer, turtles, and zigzags that reminded us of the rock formations. It’s probably best not to touch the carvings so our oils don’t damage it. We were pleasantly surprised that the carvings weren’t vandalized."

"Overblown on social media. It’s a rock in the middle of a housing estate, which locals use as a dog park, and I suspect they couldn’t remove the rock so they etched into it a few petroglyphs… it’s chicken scratches compared to the real ones in Moab. Worth visiting for a few mins… the locals will raise an eyebrow towards tourists."
