  "summary": "Urban RASC star park in Victoria — accessible, if compromised, city observing.",
  "intro": "Cattle Point in Victoria's Oak Bay neighbourhood is one of only two Urban Star Parks recognized by the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada — a rare example of a genuinely dark viewpoint sitting inside a city. Local streetlighting around Uplands Park is deliberately controlled, and the open waterfront looks straight out over Haro Strait.",
  "established": null,
  "drivingFromToronto": "Fly into Victoria, BC; Cattle Point is about 15 minutes from downtown by car.",
  "bestTime": "Any clear, moonless night — RASC Victoria Centre members hold regular public observing sessions here, so check their schedule for guided nights.",
  "highlights": [
    "One of only two RASC-designated Urban Star Parks in Canada",
    "Open water views over Haro Strait toward the San Juan Islands",
    "Regular public observing sessions hosted by RASC Victoria Centre"
  ],
  "tips": [
    "Free and open to the public — no permit needed",
    "It's an urban site, so expect Bortle 4–5 skies, not true wilderness darkness",
    "Bring a red flashlight — other observers are often set up nearby"
  ],
  "whatToSee": "Bright planets, the Moon, and the brighter Milky Way star clouds on the clearest nights.",
