Default RE: OUTLAW no more...

I live about 30mi. north from NY city in the town of Croton, it has a park on the Hudson river and there is a bluff that was made into a flying field. The runway is concrete surrounded with mowed grass picnic tables BBQs great view overlooking the Hudson river, the town of Croton took very good care of this park. This was back in the 70s. Building my first plane now and took a ride the other day to see if it was still there. It was but the AMA took over the field
Now it is fenced in with no trespassing unless you are a member signs, picnic tables and the BBQs were gone one locked gate with a giant sign of do‘s and don‘ts on it Signs and rules every place do this can’t do that stand here don’t go there it was very sad to me as I had so much fun there as a kid now it looks like a commercial business and now I need to pay!
