Where do you fly club, park, or other locations?

[Mr Man]

I like to fly at my club, but rarely get to since my Dad doesn’t like having to drive 20min 😂 😢

Drove past this place again a couple days ago. Jefferson City, Missouri. It sits among a lake, campgrounds, and baseball and soccer fields. Part of the city parks department, with hours posted, but I've never found anything there but a locked gate.

Looks like "Opportunity" Air Park to me.
Contact the city/owner. Maybe they'll allow you to fly there if you help maintain it, or something.

If I can fly in my backyard, I do that first. If not, I go to the club. I'm a member of two, one in CO Springs, and one in Alvarado, TX. Considered joining Thunderbird Field, but it's about a 40 to 45 minute drive and I knew I wouldn't want to be making that very often. But that is a really nice field. I used to go to the local Jr. High but too many people started showing up and it just became a pain.

That field is about 2 and a half hours from me.

Living in the damp & wet NW UK at least the field I fly at is pretty green all the year round even if rather muddy in winter.

Generally flat but the grass is long most of the time and those trees are tall!

Very flat farm fields a mile from my house. Private AMA field that runs more like FT. Everyone have fun. Anyone being a jerk is gone.

Turns out that spot is only for AMA members. It's already beautifully maintained by the city parks department.

1 hour from me.

Fyi: maintained by city parks has been generally held as open to public but AFAIK, hasn't been to the Supreme Court for adjudication

I fly at beautiful Thunderbird Field in Fort Worth, TX.

A fantastic and friendly AMA club with one of the very best flying sites in the Southwest.

This time of year, I fly every day at work. I have a few scratch built micro flyers that have many, many miles on them. The recycle park near me has a big enough field, and the huge church on the corner has a veritable county of land, I fly my biggest planes there, they have never bothered me about it. I'm pretty lucky there are so many options within minutes for me AND I'm under an hour from Edgewater and the Kent fieldhouse for indoor flying.

I fly at beautiful Thunderbird Field in Fort Worth, TX...

I visited that field a few weeks ago, had a great time flying there. The mornings were good but I had to watch the wind in the PM, a LOT of turbulence that crashed a few of my planes. I'm intending to add stabilization to my fleet.

Our field includes control line, fpv/drone and rc, each is a dedicated space for the respective type of flying. Paved runways with solar charging in the rc area. Charging built by St. Louis Aeropilots. We maintain that as the field floods annually and we have to remove the charge controller as the floods sometimes exceed 20 feet.
