PARKING

Parking is located at the far end of the park on Ross St this is on-street parking and we advise you to not obstruct the bus stop. There is more on-street parking a little further up from the park as shown on the map.

HOW TO FIND THE OBSERVATORY

Park near the cnr of Ross St & Braid Rd. or take the #19 bus to Belleknowes and disembark at the stop just short of this intersection.

Follow the path towards the red light at the Observatory.  

We deliberately have no lighting near the Observatory as it means we all have a clearer view of the stars.

If there is no Moon light you might need to use a small torch or phone to follow the path.  Please keep your torch pointing downwards towards the path, and by the time you reach the white handrail please turn off your light.  You will be grateful when others do that when you’re looking through the telescopes.

Thanks for helping to keep our sky dark.
