Oracle State Park, International Dark Sky Park in Pinal County, Arizona, United States.
Oracle State Park encompasses numerous hiking trails across diverse habitats, providing opportunities for wildlife observation and outdoor recreation throughout the year.
The establishment of Oracle State Park in 1976 marked a turning point in preserving natural ecosystems and creating recreational spaces in southern Arizona.
The Kannally Ranch House within the park represents the architectural traditions of early twentieth century ranching communities in the American Southwest.
The park requires advance reservations for night sky viewing, with a fee of $12 and special arrangements needed for after-hours access through American Avenue Trailhead.
The absence of artificial light sources allows visitors to observe the Milky Way and celestial objects through telescopes during organized astronomical events.
