Anyone know of a good public launch site in or around Morris County, NJ? I've been trolling around Google Maps and have a few candidates but haven't yet figured out if they'd be hospitable. Black River Recreation right next to the Chester Township pool looks pretty good, if the soccer fields aren't in use, but I haven't figured out who actually owns that land. Chubb Park (also Chester) is where the 4H Fair rocket launch usually takes place; it's not that big but workable for small stuff.
Also, I have found that NJ has regulations that say (approximately) "children as young as 12 may launch rockets while under adult supervision as part of an educational program". Does that mean, as it suggests, that a kit younger than 12 is not allowed to push the launch button? If so that sounds nuts to me.
