Star gazers are in for a treat when they visit Fountain Hills, which was officially declared a Dark Sky Community in 2018. The community works very hard to ensure that all outdoor lighting conforms to the requirements for a Dark Sky Community. The local astronomy club in Fountain Hills holds monthly star parties, where locals and visitors can learn all about the planets and constellations that abound in our skies. To assist avid star gazers, the public library has 3 telescopes which can be “borrowed” to assist with dark sky star gazing. Visitors are invited to visit the Dark Skies website to learn more and to find out when special events are planned.
