The petition urges city officials to keep the sculpture called "Dinosaur" permanently perched.
It's been on display at Manhattan's High Line elevated park for a year and a half and is scheduled to be taken down next month.
"Dinosaur" is the fourth in High Line's rotating arts program.
The next piece set to replace it is a 27-foot-tall sandstone sculpture of Buddha.
