I definitely do find a tricky flying in Suffolk County but I've been resourceful and trying to get around I try to go but down by the water along the South Shore like around Sayville

Believe it or not it seems that there are more areas in Nassau County that you can fly then out here in Suffolk County. Basically any open areas down by the water just maybe not in Jones Beach State Park. Some people have mentioned flying in the Eisenhower Park. But I don't know what neighborhood you are in but maybe right there in your own neighborhood you can Buzz around a little bit and get some practice at least

Hi there, I am here on LI as well. I am not sure about Jones Beach, as it is a state park, and to my knowledge all state parks are no go.

I think Nassau county parks maybe OK. So far I have been twice to the Corona Park in Queens, it has a flying field. And I have taken Mavic to North Hempstead Beach Park without any issues, maybe because due to snow there was hardly anyone in the Park. Few people walking their dogs that’s it. I think Liddo beach /Long Beach are Nassau county owned but not sure whether the residents around those area would be welcoming drones.

As long as you are willing to deal with the cold you can get away with a lot more because most people do not like to be outside in this

I’m right in Bellmore. I was thinking of flying around from my home or if it’s legal to do so launching from an empty parking lot near the train.

That's good question I don't see any reason why not. Just have to finally get something organized somewhere lol. Hopefully somebody here is good at that LOL and warm weather is coming should make it a little easier

I went to Jones beach boardwalk today, hoping that I may be able to fly but there were so many people around and the helicopters were flying quite low, like 500-600 ft range, not to mention all the seagulls, so I chickened ...errr.. ended up just walking instead of flying the Mavic

Stay away from the people!
State Park also, not good

 

[coop64]

Yup, it was a no go due to State Park.

 

[BWRIGHT]

I’m sure there are spots we could go without getting permits.
As long as we are not being rude or worse we should be fine.
The old Brookhaven movie theater or the old kmart grounds in middle island have possibilities.
