Model Rockets

[Bobby821]

Does anyone know where you can launch model rockets at in South OKC or Moore? I already called the OKC parks dept. and they said no to launching them in city parks and the same goes for parks in Moore.

closest thing I could find is a piedmont rocketry club... i'm sure they'd have some info: https://piedmontrocketry.shutterfly.com/

Used to launch model rockets all the time at Woodson park, don't know why the city would say no. Off topic a bit here......I got to tour the Estes Model rocket factory in Colorado as a kid......neat stuff.

I live over by the airport and launch them from my back yard sometimes, lol. My buddy works ATC so told me it was fine.

Any large field that is not directly under the flight path of a landing or taking off plane. lol

Many, many years ago, a friend in our Sunday School class dabbled in model rocketry, and during a class picinic at Earlywine Park he fired off a rather impressive model rocket a few of times. Had its own parachute and electric launcher. When I saw the thing fire a bit off kilter on one shot, and I thought about the people and homes nearby, I kinda thought "you know, this might not be the ideal place to be doing this...." But, man, it was fun. Had always wanted to get into it as a kid, but mom was just too gunshy to let it happen. Oh, well

Yeah trying to find a big enough open piece of land with no trees is going to be difficult now days.
