Gorgeous view!Its a great place to stop at if you have 10-20 minutes to take a break and just enjoy the area.They have created a path to help practice social distancing aka everything is a one-way route (greatly appreciated).Plenty of parking.

I am a full time professional mural artist who travels the world, year-round, creating what I call “Handwritten Murals.” A majority of the murals I create are “World Peace Murals,” so when I stumbled across this park I knew I had to stop by for a while and soak in the peaceful vibes. I really enjoyed hanging out, hiking the trails, meditating, and walking around the stupa. I’ll definitely be back. PEACE!!!!

Peace Park is an understatement. This was a pleasant stop and highly recommended.Buddhism is the only religion, aside from my own that I respect and acknowledge as being legitimate.

Whats a stupa?Sacred stupas have graced the earth for over 2,600 years. Stupas are the physical embodiment of the Buddhas enlightened mind. Their blessings are immeasurable. Their presence, extremely rare in the West.This place is a sacred landmark. Its open to everyone and theres a lot of additional info about it on site. One of the markers asks you to walk around the stupa 3 times, clockwise and pray for your loved ones or you can find a cozy corner and meditate. Its a very beautiful, peaceful & special place.Located just beyond a residential neighborhood its open from dawn to dusk. Theres plenty of designated parking for visitors and if the lot happens to be full you may park on the street. There are also many hiking trails surrounding this place and you can hike in every direction. We hiked here for a few hours and I suggest the Thunder Mountain Trail.

This place was recommended from the locals. I enjoyed walking around. The medicine wheel was worth your time. Best place to take pictures of the mountains. Even a cactus that looks like an alien.

This is a very calming site. In the snow it was hard to hike up the trail but once you have made it, there are about 10 chairs waiting for you to sit and enjoy the serenity.

I wanted nothing more than to love this place but it was nothing like I expected. Sedona is full of tourism and this place unfortunately is used as just another photo op . A line just to take a picture with a Buddha statue, WOW !The energy was so negative.. A lady that was there took it upon herself to go around and tell people what they should and should not be doing including YELLING at my husband. (Not very peaceful,huh?!)I wanted it to be peaceful, I wanted to clear my mind and have a moment to feel released from all the pressures in life . Instead I couldn’t get out of there fast enough . The negativity is heavy !! It very well could of been just a bad day there but it wasn’t worth dealing with the traffic . The scenery is beautiful, it’s breath taking but again it wasn’t worth feeling the way we did once we left . The confrontation left such a bad impression it weighed heavy on us the next day. I guess I just can’t relate to that type of behavior in such a scared environment.Unfortunately we have no control over the energy that others possess and radiate so all I can say is go with a positive, loving vibe . I hope your experience is better than ours.

We went here for a meditation led by a local through airbnb. It is a public place for prayer left by the monks. It is lovely. There is a good peaceful energy, as long as other tourists arent being disrespectful. Come here with an open mind, heart and quiet Mouth. Respect the space. Lovely visit.

The Peace Park is the perfect place for solitude. I loved how quiet it was. It is a wonderful spot for meditation and reflection. I would highly recommend this area for an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. As a reminder, since it is a place of peace, please be mindful of those who are meditating, or enjoying the quiet.

Review №14

If you wanted a very very short trail, you can go at place but you need to pay your respects and be silent. This place is holy and sacred regardless of you religion. The least you can do is to read, pray and meditate for awhile. And it has a trail that leads to the Thunder Mountain trail. I love the view that we got from here. Everything is so relaxing and peaceful.

Very peaceful and nice location, surrounded by red rocks . A little hike but it’s worth it once up there .. if someone is old then they might have some trouble walking up the hill which is not paved properly, so use caution ..

Beautiful place. Went there last October after a major life changing event. It was definitely everything and more than what I had expected it to be. Breathtaking view of the red rock all around. A Tent with chairs facing the temple for anyone who wants to meditate.Sedona Arizona was one of the places on my bucket list. I’m grateful I was able to go, and the weather was perfect!

I love this place. People respect this place so much. There is a small parking space and then, just easily walk off road around 10-15 mins. You can take time to meditate or just walk around the area to pay some respect. It’s a great hidden gem of Sedona I will say. And the view here is great too.

Pretty cool place to come and visit and just chill. You can meditate too, everyone keeps it respectful here and quiet. Plenty of parking space since you can just park on the street. There is one portable toilet available if you need to use the bathroom. There is also a small area with some chairs right in front of the statue where you can sit down and relax. The little trail from the road to the Stupa and the Park takes roughly about 10 minutes or so, very easy and quick.

We came here in the early evening. It was very peaceful walking around the Stupa and using the prayer wheels. As you walk the trails above you come to the medicine wheel and many more trails to mindfully walk.

Beautiful scenery, quiet even when semi busy, many trails for people to take. Can get confusing if you start wandering around alone. But, otherwise, great spot to find peace and relax. There are prayers everywhere. The buddah statue and it does provide the history of the place there. Not a ton of parking.

I’m conflicted, it is a good place to visit but it’s a place for prayer and meditation so I don’t recommend people visit it for talking or taking photos. But passing this you get to trail Thunder Mountain which was great and a pretty easy hike!

A real beautiful park or area. It is a peaceful, serene place with lots of little trails to explore with nothing but views. A main sitting area with lots of chairs available in a cozy shaded setting.It is a buddhist temple type area, which I do not really understand, but we had a nice visit, and enjoyed the peace it offered.

A Stupa dedicated to Buddha Amitabha of magnificent splendor. The radiance of Buddha permeates the ether here. Walking through the trails there are impromptu shrines and Buddha’s along the path.The Stupa itself is aligned to cardinal directions and has traditional ceremonial offerings. May bring your own offerings of you choose. Chairs are available to meditate or sit, there is one covered platform. Thank you.

Very relaxing, beautiful views, easy to get to, free entrance and history of the park in very interesting. It spread out of 14acres, so you could make a day of it - all kinds of little trails leading all kinds of directions. My group&I were a little unprepared - make sure you wear proper footwear, as the terrain is mountainous; as most trails are. Very touching to see all the personal touches at the different Buddha locations. A MUST if your in Sedona.

This peace park was amazing. Took the more steep trail option. Had beautiful rest areas in between. Colorful mantras everywhere and alot of information if you are not familiar with the Buddhist ways. Quiet trail. You can donate cash, unopened water bottles or shiny attractive trinkets. Will definitely be back.

One of Sedonas lesser known but deeply spiritual locations is hidden from view by modest homes just off highway 89a. Its situated at the base of a red rock out croppings overlooking the city. Serene and auspicious, the Amitabha Stupa welcomes everyone equally with colorful prayer flags strewn throughout the grounds. Its a wonderful place to practice mindful meditation and quiet contemplation.

Very peaceful and quiet. This a beautiful place to clear your mind, pray, or just enjoy the view of the mountains and nature. Everyone who visits is pretty respectful and keeps their voices low. I enjoy visiting this little treasure. Just be careful to watch your step and not to slip on the paths since they are all dirt and rocks.

The Amitabha Stupa was a very nice surprise for me. I had no idea how mystic is Sedona. For sure it fits well here. It is sacred and very imposing. I felt peaceful and sang Om Mani Padme Hummantra circulating the Stupa. There is also a beautiful Buda and a nice place to seat and meditate.

Peaceful, enlightening, beautiful. There are few places in this world that call to my soul, and this is one of them. Bring an offering (non-perishable) and, if you can, a donation so one day a temple can be built. No pressure, but it would be nice.

One of my most favorite things from my visit to Sedona. Theres something calm and assuring about this place. Getting here is as easy as it gets. Theres a mini hike of 10 minutes with well guided directions from the time you complete your drive.The park has a small seating area with shade where you can meditate and chill as a group as long as youre quiet while respecting the space.As already found on the internet, you could possibly find numerous group activities within this park since its meant to hold one of the many vortexes in Sedona. Irrespective my recommendation would be to come early in the day [before it gets too warm] or later in the afternoon [past 4] to just relax, walk around the stupa and get some peace and quiet.
