McDonald Park, in Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada, is a dark-sky preserve,[1] designated thusly by the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada.[2]

The park is located in a valley, and at night light pollution from the nearby cities of Abbotsford, Chilliwack, and Mission is blocked by Sumas Mountain.[2] The park opens at night for observations under the auspices of the Fraser Valley Astronomers Society.[3]
