So, here's the problem. I need to find a piece of property about the size of 4 football fields, that is pretty clear, not around any power lines, not near any major roadways or buildings, and not in the airspace of Intercontinental Airport. Oh and I need permission to shoot rockets up to 3000 feet in the air on the property. I've been searching for this elusive piece of property forever and, with the growth of this area, I have not yet found it. This is for the Civil Air Patrol's 10th annual rocket launch which is usually held in Kingwood but our normal property is now a soccer field. Do you happen, by any odd weird strange chance, to know of a place that we can use on 29 October for a few hours?? 4951

How about the athletic field behind the back parking lot of the community college? 4951

@ET: Great idea, but they want $300 for 3 hours and we just don't have a budget for that, being that we are non-profit and all. Emoticon

@yankeejessica: Frank McCrady from EMCID kindly gave us permission to use Bull Sallas but there is just no place there that is large enough to do it. There are a lot of smaller fenced areas and power lines. Thank you... great thought though!

at the corner of 1960  and 2100 in Huffman is a field next to a church, not sure who owns it, they bail hay there, maybe the church has contact info and can let you use it, if it isnt too far away.  Or the field behind KPark supposed to be a recreational area at the end of Woodland Hills 4951

@Txbutterfly: I saw that huge field there, it is HUGE! And would be great except that there is no parking and we need parking for about 35 cars. And the rec fields around Kingwood all are scheduled for soccer and the like on that Saturday morning. It's been so tough to find a place that would work, but I thank you for the good ideas! Emoticon

@HollyHobby: I certainly believe it would. It seems to fit all of the many requirements. But for the cost!
