Grass. 60 yards by 8 yards. Unobstructed approaches.
That's all that's required. If you are good at cross-wind landings and take-offs or have very consistant winds.

However, at our field we share with full-size aircraft and some days 2,500 ft by 200 feet isn't enough. At our Mini-fest this weekend we had several in the weeds.

Last winter we were flying at a sports complex with four soccer fields and yours truly tried to land in un-stepped in snow and instead the only tree within 1,000 feet grabbed my Hot Stik.
