Dark Sky Parks are designated areas that offer exceptional opportunities for stargazing and observing celestial events. These parks are located away from city lights, providing a clear view of the night sky. They promote the preservation of natural darkness and encourage visitors to appreciate the beauty of the universe. To achieve Dark Sky status, parks must meet specific criteria set by the International Dark-Sky Association. This includes limiting light pollution and providing educational programs about astronomy and the importance of dark skies. Visitors can enjoy activities like night hikes, telescope viewings, and astrophotography in these serene environments.
