Accessibility

Petroglyph National Monument was established in 1990 and is considered a young National Park unit. The monument is cooperatively managed by the National Park Service and the City of Albuquerque Open Space Division. Currently, we are limited on accessible features. On the other hand, each project that is started and implemented by the National Park Service takes into account accessibility.

 

Information Center -

The information center is fully accessible with parking spaces and chair ramps. This site also has a tactile exhibit of petroglyphs so all visitors can experience the feel of a petroglyph. (Touching of actual petroglyphs is strongly discouraged to prevent damage to these irreplaceable resources.) Park brochures in Braille and in large print are available at the information center.
