Wonder what the Milky Way looks like? Curious about the Planet Saturn or Pluto?

Wonder no more because on Saturday, April 17, from sundown to 9:30 p.m. in the Thomas F. Riley Wilderness Park in Coto De Caza you can attend Astronomy Night.

As a wildlife sanctuary, Thomas F. Riley Wilderness Park located at 30952 Oso Parkway is home to an abundant number of native plants and animal life. Old groves of Western Sycamores and Coast Live Oaks border the park's two seasonally flowing creeks. The remaining land features rolling hills and canyons of Coastal Sage Scrub and grasslands. Riley is part of OC Parks whose mission is: “As a steward of significant natural and cultural resources, Orange County Parks manages and operates a system of regional parks, beaches, harbors, trails and historic sites that are places of recreation and enduring value.”
