You know what they say, "Put up or shut up". Well, I'm putting up and could use some help getting information together.

The Centerville-Washington Township parks department has a rule against operating R/C craft without permission of the director. That being said, they have a 101.1 acre park they are just starting to develop and a multitude of smaller parks and I'd like to get them to allow electrics and sailplanes to use these parks in designated areas. (at this time there aren't any designated areas)

What I've already done:
1. RESEARCH
2. Contacted the Parks Department to ask with whom I'd need to speak about the matter
3. Contacted AMA for anything they can dig up to assist (the old be prepared thing)
4. RESEARCH

I know glow/gas is not in the cards and since I'm not starting up a club, just trying to get a place for park flyers to fly, the club charter information isn't exactly helpful.

Has anybody else successfully petitioned their parks department for a similar goal?

Anyone near Centerville, OH want to jump in and help?

Any information, thoughts, etc. is welcomed. I feel this may be a very hard sell and I ain't no salesman
