Black Mesa State Park, located in the far western panhandle of Oklahoma in the United States, has been designated as an International Dark Sky Park by DarkSky International. This is an important achievement for Oklahoma State Parks as Black Mesa State Park is the first park in the system to receive this designation, cementing its role as a leader in preserving the stateβs natural nocturnal heritage and the exceptionally dark skies of the Oklahoma panhandle.
