At the park, where is the best place to stargaze?
Observatory Park is the best place to stargaze in Geauga Park District. There are two observatories there that have large telescopes. The Oberle Observatory has a large 25-inch telescope, and the Nassau Astronomical Station has an even larger 36-inch telescope. This facility is 1-mile north of the Oberle Observatory and is connect by a trail or you can drive there.
We hold night sky viewing on the second and fourth Friday and Saturday evenings at the Oberle Observatory and the third Saturday evening at Nassau Astronomical Station, if the skies are clear.
On those evenings, there are smaller telescopes spread out around the observatory plaza, and you can look through those as well.
