Open
Space
Nestled
in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, residents
of Arroyo Park enjoy spectacular vistas, star filled skies,
rolling hills, undulating arroyos, hiking trails, large rocks
for bouldering, a seasonal stream, and a diverse wildlife.
The 30 acres of open space, which will never be developed,
are held in a conservation easement controlled by the Arroyo
Park Owners Association. Arroyo Park abuts Taos Pueblo land
that is also protected from development.
Archaeological
Sites and Petroglyphs
There
are three prehistoric & historic petrolglyph sites in
the area. One site, previously recorded by the Taos Archaeological
Society, is located on a basalt outcrop of cliffs on the west
side of the Arroyo Seco and just outside the Arroyo Park project
area. The others are on basalt cliffs and in basalt boulders
at the base of the cliffs on the east and west sides of the
Arroyo Seco within the Arroyo Park project area. Prehistoric
petroglyphs appear of the northern Rio Grande style and include
anthromorphic, zoomorphic, geometric, and linear motifs. Historic
petroglyphs include letters and Hispanic names. Also the area
consists of archaeological sites with prehistoric chipped
stone artifact scatters. The predominance of core flakes may
suggest that the sites are Anasazi in origin.
