About the Park
There is a high concentration of prehistoric rock carvings at this park. The First Nations peoples created these traditional carvings over 1000 years ago. Concrete replica castings of the petroglyphs can be found in the main interpretation area and visitors can make rubbings of the castings from these. Rubbings are a great souvenir of a visit to this intriguing and educational park.

I took my friend, Faron, to his doctors for Botox injections in numerous places on the body between his joints on his right side, where his cerebral palsy affects him most. He never complains, and is a true inspiration to be around. Helping and living near someone who has actual physical problems really helps put things into perspective on a daily basis. Immediately after his appointment we stopped in at petroglyph park in Nanaimo. This is a major energy point on the Becker Hagan grid and was riddled with petroglyphs over 2000 years ago. Obviously, it is a major energy point and Iโm super stoked that way buddy with Azekel ailments was able to muscle through taking the few hundred metre hike to see this amazing spot. Itโs funny that this was a well-known energy points thousands of years ago and now it is a novelty stop off park beside the highway, lol. Anyways, super happy to get to hang out with this guy and if you ever have a chance to pop in to visit this energy point on Vancouver island is definitely worth the very soft and a short walk. #buddies #inspiration #beckerhagensgrid #energypoint #lookitup #awesome #trooper #badass #cerebralpalsy #hike #petroglyphprovincialpark
Had a chance to visit Petroglyohs Provincial Park a few weeks back. Incredible aboriginal rock carvings and stunning trails. Must see provincial park!
Now, since the rock carvings are sacred no pictures are permitted. We respected that and have nothing to show you. But trust me when I say they are worth the trip!
