    Monkey Island Park

    Head to Monkey Island Park. This flat, landscaped lawn gives you a clear, unobstructed view toward the west.

    Monkey Island Park

    Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The golden light fades quickly after 17:13, so find your spot on the lawn by then.

    The Station

    End the night with a burger or drink. The Station is open late and close enough to walk back to after dark.
