A small neighborhood park in Washington County, Utah with rockart on large exposed boulders. A detailed description is not available. Close human contact, including rock climbing, threatens the petroglyphs themselves.

Note: Ancient Anasazi petroglyphs lie amidst suburban sprawl. Utah rock art threatened by development - outright destruction to the death by a thousand hands.

An ancient 40-ton jungle gym of sorts, the massive burnt umber boulder
anchors a neighborhood park and beckons suburban kids to clamber over
its mysterious Anasazi etchings. And climb aboard they do, sometimes
even attempting to scratch their own marks before the adults run them off, neighbors say.
Archaeologists typically warn against even
smudging natural skin oils on the chiseled drawings or the rock's
natural mineral glaze so they won't slowly melt away. "I've climbed on
it," acknowledged Melissa Cornwall, whose in-laws live next to
backyard-sized Petroglyph Park in the city's Bloomington subdivision,
near the meeting place of southern Utah's Great Basin and the Mojave
Desert (USA).

The state's fastest-growing cities are gobbling up millennium-
old rock art. "This is our past. It's like our library," said Dorena
Martineau, cultural resources director for the Paiute Indian Tribe of
Utah. Homebuilders long have surrounded or even dynamited the desert
boulders that tell the old tales. Martineau's late father photographed
and interpreted countless rocks before two Washington County dams
flooded the area. Now housing developers are capitalizing on and
marketing petroglyph parks that give subdivisions a distinction but
inevitably suck some of the soul out of sacred landscapes.
