On Saturday, Oct. 13, 8 p.m.–10 p.m., visitors can explore the night sky during Star Search Astronomy Night. Volunteers from the Foothills Astronomy Club will lead the event.  Bring your own binoculars or telescopes or use the ones set up on-site to help you identify planets, star clusters, nebulae, and amazing features of the night sky. Admission is $6 per person.

On Saturday, Oct. 20, activities will be held from 10 a.m.–3 p.m., and the park will remain open until 5 p.m.  This day is the park's  annual Owl Day.
