What park or area is best to bring my telescope?
Observatory Park is the best location to bring your telescope for night sky viewing.
The park has been designed to limit light pollution, which interferes with our ability to view the constellations, planets and other celestial objects in the night sky.
Because of these design features and also the limited amount of light spilling from areas around the park, Observatory Park is designated as a dark sky park by the International Dark-Sky Association.
