One word: peaceful. I visited the park on a rainy day in Sedona. The red ground was muddy and wet, but that did not take away from the serenity that I felt upon entering this park. As you follow along the path, there are colorful flags wrapped around trees and places to sit and meditate. In the park, I felt contemplative and present surrounded by the rock formations and sounds of bird song. The Amitabha Stupa was magnificent, and I was able to circle around the stupa clockwise. There is also a medicine wheel that I recommend checking out.
This park is perfect for a nice, relaxing stroll and for contemplation/meditation. It's also a little gem in Sedona; the park truly is an embodiment of peace and I am so thankful I stopped by and got to experience it!
Side-notes: Since it was a rainy day, there was not a large crowd so I was able to meditate, walk, and interact with the park without wait. There is a parking lot that gives you access to a path that leads you to the stupa. It is important to be respectful of the space, and to be quiet since there may be others...
Read moreSuch a beautiful and serene place in Sedona! Very quiet and peaceful! The views are stunning! A nice detour from the more popular areas of Sedona. Great hiking paths and so many different vantage points! The weather continually changes so you get different perspectives of the views. Day of visit there was a snow shower, so cool! At first it may feel like you are getting lost trying to find the place as it is away from all the tourist stops. Be prepared to spend some quality time here and even some meditation.

A different perspective about Sedona. Parking is on a dirt lot and a bit rough as well as the road right before the entrance, be prepared for that. The park makes for a truly memorable moment to add to a...
Read moreLovely, quiet, peaceful, zen place. Great place to mediate to clear your mind. Worth a visit.
You have to go through residential neighborhoods to get here. Then you turn on a dirt driveway. There’s a parking lot to your right where the entrance is and straight ahead is the over flow lot.
We got here at 2pm and no cars. We thought we were lost or they were closed. I think it’s due to the triple digit heat. Finally another car came and then a tour bus came.
Everyone is welcome here. Even your fur babies.
The entrance is right behind the welcome sign. It takes you through a path to the first Stupa in the center and prayer wheels.
There’s not really a map or set direction on where to go next. Just pick a trail. We went behind the Stupa, up and around to Shakyamuni Buddha. Then continue up to the Medicine Wheel. Then down to the mini Stupa and back to the main Stupa and...
