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
