Discover the Universe in Your Own Backyard
This parking area serves Observatory Park, a designated International Dark Sky Park managed by the Geauga Park District. This unique park is specifically designed to protect the darkness of the night sky for exceptional stargazing. Visitors can explore trails with planetary models, view exhibits on the history of astronomy, and on clear nights, look through powerful telescopes with the guidance of park naturalists. Even during the day, the park’s trails through woodlands and meadows offer a beautiful setting for a hike. It is a premier destination for astronomers, families, and anyone with a curiosity about the cosmos.
