Around half a mile off the main road, this lovely park is centered around a large rock perched on the side of a rushing stream that was carved by St Vincent's original indigenous inhabitants. The petroglyph itself, while interesting to look at, will not hold your attention for long, but the park is a lovely place to relax. Bring a picnic lunch to enjoy in one of the gazebos.
