Dark Skies

In 2023, the Rappahannock County Recreational Facilities Authority will open the park a total of nine (9) evenings during which the public can come and observe the night skies (nominally once a month during the warmer months).

The “New Moon” dates were chosen to provide dark moonless nights for observations. The “Full Moon” date was chosen to allow observation of a nearly full moon above the park’s trees.

Of the nine (9) dates, RLEP will provide a minimum of four (4) Dark Sky Event programs, as indicated in blue text. At least one (1) viewing device will be available for public use on these evenings.
On the five (5) Free Observation Evenings, the park is open for viewing, but no program presentation or viewing devices will be provided.
Change to Standard Time: Sun. Nov. 5
