If you have kids interested in space or planets bring them here for a real life view of planets, nebula, star clusters and galaxies.

If you are thinking of buying a telescope or want help using a telescope you own, come here to talk with experienced users.

If you think you might have an interest in astronomy come and talk to experienced amateur astronomers.

• Dress warmly and wear a hat.
• Visitors should park on the street and walk into the park so your headlights don't affect the observer's dark adaptation.
• Only park in the parking lot if you are arriving before dark and plan to stay until the end of the event.
• You shouldn't need lights but if you feel you do, only bring a small flashlight with the lens covered using red cellophane or red balloon.
• Please respect the telescopes and ask permission from the owner if you wish to touch.
• Parents, please watch your children.
• The park is residential, and adjacent to homes and backyards, please keep noise to a minimum.
  

Astronomers arrive to set up at around sunset. Observing starts at about one hour after sunset and continues for two to three hours.
