    Ten Places for Night Sky Viewing in Cleveland Metroparks 

    Skyline Overlook, West Creek Reservation 
    View Cleveland's skyline on a clear night from Parma at over 950 ft. in elevation when you summit this short but thrilling trail.
     

    Polo Field, South Chagrin Reservation 
    Located at the corner of Chagrin River Road and South Woodland Rd. (Rt. 87), the Polo Field is situated along the Chagrin River. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, this location is perfect for stargazing.

    Squire's Castle, North Chagrin Reservation     
    One of Cleveland Metroparks most beloved attractions is a stellar spot for constellations. Nighttime sky viewing along the Chagrin River floodplain on Squire's Castle lawn is a must.
     

    Top O' Ledges Picnic Area, Hinckley Reservation     
    Top O'Ledges Picnic Area not only provides access to magnificent rock ledges, it boasts a large, open field perfect for viewing the night sky.

    Euclid Beach Pier, Euclid Creek Reservation     
    This 315-foot long pier sets the stage for amazing views of the night sky over our great Lake Erie.

    Astorhurst, Bedford Reservation     
    The open fields of this former golf course, turned natural area, provide open and clear views of the night sky. A hike up the hill to the upper trails gives access to overlooks with breathtaking views.

    Hinckley Dam, Hinckley Reservation     
    This grassy levy, located right along the northern edge of Hinckley Lake, allows you the opportunity to view the night sky above the lake. Parking is available at the Hinckley Lake Spillway parking lot.

    The skyscape above this field atop the Rocky River Valley can offer excellent views of the night sky against a backdrop of pine, oak and maple forest.
