Parks at Dark

Come experience Cato Park at dark at our third Parks at Dark! On April 22nd we will watch the meteor shower with the help from our friends at the Kanawha Valley Astronomical Society. They will be bringing telescopes and answering your questions about the stars.  We will release lanterns around 9:15pm. We will provide the lanterns; you are welcome to bring a lighter for your lantern. At 10pm our program coordinator Kelsey Gilbert will lead you on a guided hike on some of our trails. We encourage you to bring a flashlight. Kid friendly, glow-in-the-dark activities, will be taking place throughout the night. This event is free to the community and will take place from 8pm-11pm. Dogs are welcome if they are kept on a leash. We will meet on the soccer field at 8pm. For more information contact:
