A million years ago when I was in high school, I broke up with my boyfriend at this park. It was a…read moresad day, but I've had many great memories there since then (and even made amends with the boyfriend and we are on good terms now). Anyway, this park has been around forever and whether your memories are of the lush, green grassy areas or the adjacent recreational equipment, you probably have a story of your own. Hopefully there are more happy memories than sad ones like mine. Because it's centrally located and a large size, there are lots of markets or community events that are held here. There is a parking lot nearby as well as ample street parking. It's a great space to bring the St. George and surrounding community together.

At this park weekly St. George farmers market is in full swing. There are food trucks too. You can…read moreorder your food in the market grounds too. Then there is a pavilion you can go eat under at a picnic table or take a huge blanket to enjoy your food on the grass close to the park while the children play. There is a farmer market every Saturday. The hours for summer are 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. (noon) MDT until October. Winter hours are from November to April 10 am - 2 pm. Closed the last 2 weeks of December and all of January for winter break. This park is huge, plenty of space for big or small families to congregate too. Area to play pickle ball, run, shade to relax, walk with your fur baby on a leash, walk along the pathway with your signing other (you get the idea), safe enough to walk by yourself too and plenty of space to set up family outdoor games. Bathrooms, drinking fountains, and plenty of parking. Parking, little side rant. If you are parking on a Saturday when the area is busy, then it sucks finding a spot. The vehicles start parking at entrances/exits, then it turns into a one-way battle of who is turning around. In my opinion, parking should not be allowed in those narrow entrances/exits. Otherwise, it is FUN, FUN, FUN... and next door to rodeo grounds, too.

Conveniently, there are restrooms equipped with hand dryers, though they lack mirrors. Each year, for at least the past two years, the park has been the venue for the Scottish Festival. This event is free to attend, though donations are encouraged to support the games, and sponsorship opportunities are available. Visitors can also enjoy a wide selection of food from numerous trucks that populate the festival.

There's plenty of grass to run and play and the huge trees near the picnic tables offer the perfect shade to enjoy a relaxing lunch in the park. The park is pretty much an open field because soccer practices and games take over the park on most days. There is a small playground and restrooms, BBQ grills, drinking fountains and electric outlets are offered, but remember this park focuses more on being a soccer field than a park with playgrounds and shade structures. If you have a kid who plays soccer this park is for you. I did really enjoy the views of the red cliffs, but this park works better as a potty break stop for my fur baby. If you are looking for a park with bigger play structures and a walking trail check out Cottonwood Cove Park on S Dixie.

If you blink, you might miss it--but Bloomington Petroglyph Park is one of those low-key spots that…read moreends up being way cooler than you expect. We pulled up thinking it would be a quick stop... and yeah, it is quick--but it's also surprisingly fascinating. This tiny half-acre park is literally tucked into a neighborhood, which feels weird at first (like, "am I lost?"), but then you walk up and boom--massive boulders covered in ancient carvings. The petroglyphs are believed to have been created by Native peoples thousands of years ago, and you can spot all kinds of shapes--humans, animals, spirals, and random symbols that still kind of feel like a mystery. What makes this place stand out is how ridiculously accessible it is. You park, walk maybe 20 feet, and you're face-to-face with real ancient rock art. No hike, no effort--just instant history. It's not a big, flashy attraction, so don't come expecting a full-on park experience. No bathrooms, no visitor center--just a small path, a couple benches, and the rocks. But honestly? That's part of the charm. If you're in St. George and want a quick, unique stop that feels a little off-the-beaten-path, this is it. Just don't touch the carvings--these things have survived thousands of years... let's not be the generation that ruins them. Follow us for more hidden gems on our socials @reessroots

The petroglyphs site is on the rock side or right side, so stay on right side. It's about 3 miles round trip, expect one and half hour. It is fun to explore and search for petroglyphs since there is no signs or indications where these petroglyphs are located. The history of petroglyphs is not as old as I thought, it's about 800-1000 years old. Many petroglyphs are located on cliffs facing by the Santa Clara River. These petroglyphs include abstract and geometric patterns such as parallel lines, herringbone and patterns, as well as figurative patterns such as dancing people and goats. The petroglyphs have spiral patterns, which I think are in memory of their legend ancestor Spider Grandmother. And these dancing people may be worshiping the ancestor. There is a goat head painted very ethereal, it's so beautiful even looks like modern paintings. Although it is introduced that there is an organization-the Land Mountain Research and Conservation Foundation, dedicated to protecting these rock paintings. But these rock paintings are still in their original state, there are no monitoring measures to protect the wind and rain, and there are no markings on the location of the rock paintings. You have to climb up and down to find them. We encountered other tourists who lost their way in finding rock paintings. I truly hope significant measures to take to preserve and label these petroglyphs, maybe more academic research should be done to interpret them.

The Santa Clara River Trail System has an awesome trail which leads to petroglyphs. This trail is…read moreknown as Templ'po'op Petroglyph Trail and you can reach it from Anasazi Valley Trailhead. The trail is 2.9 miles long and takes you through the desert until you finally arrive to the petroglyphs. There are a lot of petroglyphs here which makes sense because Templ'po'op translates to rock writing. To see many of these petroglyphs you must climb around a bit. Some rocks had plenty of petroglyphs on them while some only had one or two drawings. There is really a lot of stuff to see here. On the way back there are some beautiful views. This is a very kid friendly hike. Even climbing around the rocks to see the petroglyphs felt safe.
