Rolleston South
Brookside and Dunns Crossing Roads
This park is used for soccer in winter and cricket in summer. The cricket pitches make good runways though they are narrow and only suitable for prevailing NE/SW winds.
It also has flood lights. This can make flying at night possible with UM planes and without conflicting with practise sessions. Not more than the height of the lights and not more than 100 metres away from the light nearist to the model.
At least 8 local flyers are often using this field.
See the Gallery for an aerial photo.
