Parking Passes Required

Masks Required in JGAP Plaza

Sadly, due to the virulence of the Covid-19 virus, it is not advisable for us to continue programs at this time. We have suspended programs as of Friday, March 13 and will continue until social distancing is no longer advisable. We will announce here when and if that decision is reversed.



The Hocking Hills State Park has reopened as of July 2. This includes JGAP. At that time people may visit JGAP to individually observe, enjoy and photograph the night sky.



Free parking passes are currently required for all evenings at JGAP (from 8:00 PM until 11:00 PM).



Get yours at:

Please do not visit JGAP unless you have been able to secure a pass first. We apologize if they are no longer available.



When there:



- Please be aware that there is still a pandemic going on and be courteous of others.

- Maintain distance between your group and other parties.

- No groups larger than 10 people. No more than 10 people in total in the circular Plaza.

- Masks Required in any paved or brick area. (Masks work!)



Thank you all for helping us keep JGAP safe and open!
