True, restricted for those that won't fight back, but what do you see in the parks these days for organized groups these days for groups that assist their parks department with better safer solutions? Designated areas for skateboarding, designated areas for dogs, designated areas for sports, paintball guns are a little extreme but I have seen public parks cater to them too. I've even seen parks designate areas for archery. Each "group" has their own established organized body overseeing and assisting with implementation.

The point is park are more then willing to listen and work with your cause and will most likely designate you an area in the park if you can show organization and responsibility. I've had plenty of first hand experience with these types of pitches to parks and IT WORKS if you can show organization, insurance, documentation, support from the AMA/FAA and so forth.

This effort begins with a new AMA "park flyer" model as the proposal stated. An updated version of an outdated structure SPECIFICALLY designed for parks, hence the "park" flyer. The current AMA model is not designed for the parks, only rural flying areas. If the parks see documentation specifically designed for them, then they will be much easier to work with. If you've ever made a pitch to a public park for a designated flying area you know exactly what I mean.

Bottom line is they will listen if you know how to throw the pitch and your pitch makes sense. Don't listen to these negative guys, it WILL WORK. I talked with someone from the AMA today and THEY ARE working on a new revised proposal, again aimed towards park flyers. If you guys can't see it coming then you're not the visionaries you think you are.

Maybe I'll write a book "Assisting the parks department to establish park flying in public parks for dummies". I bet I could sell a few copies, obviously. Funny part is the book will be loaded with common sense materials.
