I’m looking for a low light pollution spot to see the planets tomorrow night. I live in East Dallas and I hope someone can recommend a community I can drive to. TIA

I live in northeast Dallas suburbs and I don't have any specific recommendations but any park or open space where you have a decent horizon should do. Alternatively the Dallas club is having a public Star Party[1] in Fairview (east of Allen) Saturday. Come by and see the planets through several telescopes and learn about the skies.

Planets are bright enough to cut through most light pollution, so don't stress too hard if you can't get out of town.

So, you came to a community of 3 million members across the entire planet that are here for information of the scientific study of celestial objects.... to ask about parking in East Dallas...? I got you, you know that tree by the sidewalk near that street? The tree that kind of looks like Richard Nixon at 3:21 PM? Right there's perfect.
