Howdy,
I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for areas where I can launch some small model rockets with my son?

Thanks
Wonka

There's a good field between Cypress Grove intermediate and Creekview Elementary.

How small are we talking? You have to be a little careful not to get in trouble with the airport.

Ah, the old days back in the 70s - launching Estes model rockets with my friends in the vacant lot in our old neighborhood. We sent all kinds of interesting stuff up in the payload area (eggs, insects, etc.). I even had one that had a film camera in the nosecone and took pictures up in the air.

Sandstone Park

Are there still some soccer fields on the backside of Brian Bachmann park?

It's been about 25+ years since I've been to either of those locations to shoot model rockets, but my brother used to build them when I was a kid.

Lots of open space behind CSMS, behind the tennis courts.

Their facebook group says 9-5 tomorrow. Would I need to get there at 9? I assume they want to get it underway before it gets too hot.

That is where I launched mine on the early 70s! Lost my favorite on the infrastructure of the original Zachery Engineering building.
