Well, here's where it stands.........
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mr. Stephenson,
The Park Board approved revisions to the Park Rules and
Regulations, including the section on remote-controlled toys. Here is the
new rule:
"Remote-Controlled Toys and Models Rockets
No person shall operate any type of combustible engine powered model
airplane, rocket, boat, ship, car or truck within any area of a park without
the written permission of the Director. The use of battery powered radio
controlled models is permitted only when their use does not compromise the
safety of or interfere with activities of other visitors to the park."
We no longer require a permit for battery powered models, but ask that you
exercise caution when using it in the park so that it does not compromise
the safety of other park users.
I recommend you stay in the larger community parks for this type of
activity, as there is more space available. Those parks include: Activity
Center Park, Oak Creek South Park, Yankee Park, Iron Horse Park, Forest
Field Park, Schoolhouse Park and Oak Grove Park. All parks are open daylight
hours, 365 days/year.
Thank you for your interest.

And my follow-up.
Mrs. Kennard,
Thank you for your reply regarding the new R/C rules revision for the parks. I cannot fully express my joy over the new usage guidelines. As always, my children and I will use the park system with care and respect for nature and other park patrons.
Sincerely,
Greg Stephenson
Thanks Everyone. Centerville Parks are R/C friendly
I cannot take full credit for this. Seems it was up for discussion and I was just the icing on the cake, so to speak.
