Star Gazing Scheduled at Quail Ridge Park

Join the Alliance for Astronomy and the St. Louis Astronomical Society in partnership with St. Charles County Parks Department at Quail Ridge Park for a star-gazing opportunity on Saturday, June 18. Star-gazing experts will provide telescopes or participants are welcome to bring their own equipment. The free program will begin around dusk and end at midnight near the Off-Leash area. Star-gazing opportunities will be available at Quail Ridge Park throughout the year.

At the first stop light, Callahan Road, turn right. Take another immediate right onto Quail Ridge Parkway, which will lead you to the park entrance on the left.
