Delmarva Stargazers Dark Sky Site
Tuckahoe State Park
During the summer months when the park is open the observing site will be at the baseball field in the camping area at Tuckahoe State Park.
In the winter we observe at the Equestrian center.
Observing at Tuckahoe is limited to members of the Delmarva Stargazers only. This is a park mandate to protect both us and the park with a limited guard force.
