I used to take a small telescope down to Secret Paradise on the far west end before Westender. It was sold, major redevelopment started and is now all boarded up. I believe Frankie and Dosa are still keeping tabs on the place. Perhaps you could check in with them durring the day and ask about the possibility. Not sure about safety at night unless Dosa was there with you. If you want a safe alternative, check out the Westender. The far end of the field behind the restaurant and cottages would be very dark. I do my star gazing at Blue Cave Castle with binoculars these days. There's a fair amount of light polution, but I can stll make out the Andromeda Galaxy with my 10x50's.
