About Bloomington Petroglyph Park in St George

Bloomington Petroglyph Park is a small 0.5-acre park located in the Bloomington neighborhood of St. George, Utah. The park's main feature is a large boulder covered in ancient petroglyphs carved by Native Americans, believed to be ancestors of the Navajo tribe.

The petroglyphs depict various images including human figures, animals like horses and deer, and abstract designs that may represent early trail maps or tell stories. These rock carvings provide a glimpse into the area's prehistoric past and Native American culture.

The park is situated in a residential area, at the corner of Navajo Drive and Geronimo Road. It was established after the petroglyph-covered boulder was discovered during neighborhood development. The site was preserved as a small park to protect the archaeological artifacts and allow public viewing.

Visitors can observe the petroglyphs up close, though touching is prohibited to prevent degradation of the ancient art. The park serves as an easily accessible place to view Native American rock art without having to hike to remote locations. However, due to its small size and limited features, visits tend to be brief.
