On Saturday, August 3 from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m., at the Jakes Branch County Park, 500 Double Trouble Road, Beachwood, members of the Astronomical Society of the Toms River Area (A.S.T.R.A.) will be on hand to help new and experienced stargazers explore the night sky.
"The Gateway to the Pines," Jakes Branch County Park offers a balance of active and passive recreation opportunities.
The nature center in the park will highlight the beauty, history, and natural surroundings of the Pine Barrens. Breathtaking views of the seemingly endless Pine Barrens can be taken in from the observation deck perched atop the nature center.
No registration is required. Feel free to bring your own telescope.
