Default Model Rockets!

Any enthusiasts here?

I figured my kid was old enough that we could try some of them without someone losing a limb, but it kind of dawned on me that I don't know of anywhere that's good to launch them!

When I was a kid my uncle had a farm so we launched them from there, but I don't think wandering onto a random farm would be a good idea nowadays, and most fields are tall with crops anyway there'd be no chance of finding the thing after it came down.

Anyone know of a good place (preferably east of the city) to do so?

Not huge rockets, I just have a few simple ones and mostly test motors so only a few hundred feet expected. 200 feet will be just as impressive to my kid as 2000 feet at this point
