Wai-iti stargazing site receives international Dark Sky Park recognition

Tim O'Connell Reporter from The Nelson Mail

The International Dark Sky Association has accredited Wai-iti Recreation Reserve and Tunnicliff Forest with the status.

The park covers 135 hectares of Tasman District Council (TDC) land, located 4km south of Wakefield, and is the first such location in New Zealand to accompany existing IDA-recognised Dark Sky Reserves and Sanctuaries in Aoraki-Mackenzie, Stewart Island/Rakiura and Aotea/Great Barrier.

Free "star parties" will be held on the evenings of July 11 and 12 at
the Wai-iti Recreation Reserve (weather permitting) to celebrate the announcement.
