Not what you're asking, I know, but you are about a two-hour drive from MDRA. Check us out: http://mdrocketry.org/
For local laws, call your fire marshal and ask. If they don't seem to have a clue, ask them if they adhere to NFPA. In my community, I have often used a local sports field behind a public library, and no one has given me grief. Of course, if there are games or practices going on, then it's a no go.

Check out your local NAR club, PARA. http://www.para520.com/ They may be able to help you with the local regulations.
Welcome solid_fuel. In my youth we flew with permission at this field in Valley Forge National Park with "Mad" Anthony Wayne and the 1st Pennsylvania guarding our flank. I don't suppose that option is available any more. :grin: The RC aircraft flyers were in that area as well.
I think you'll find each Parks and Rec department will set whatever rules they want but I've also found them to be reasonable if approached reasonably. +1 talking to the PARA folks as well !
