County Parks in Florida are not off limits as far as I know. I fly at one all the time.Town parks.
Depends on the county. Broward county only allows RC at two designated parks, Vista View and Markham. It is stated on their website.County Parks in Florida are not off limits as far as I know. I fly at one all the time.
Rules are changing quickly. I just noticed no fly signs in a county park near me. None were there last year. Stay informed.
are you saying that you can fly from these parks even if the park rangers say you can not or you saying you can fly over the park from a spot outside the park like a ranger told me that once im out side the gate he has no control over where I flyIs it not true that FAA has said none of these state and local laws, regulations are valid because they are superseded by federal control of the National Airspace?

I believe FAA has ruled that National Parks, Airports (with some caveats),and some other FAA designated places such as forest fires or temporary emergency areas are FAA ‘no fly zones’. However local and state laws do not control National Airspace and may not take precedence over federal law.
good read when I was in new Mexico the way they stop me from flying over a national area was a restricted are space from the ground to 500 AGL so that leaves a fly over illegal another one told once out side the gate he could not stop a flyover if that's what I wanted to do but the fort I wanted to fly over would be past line of sightThis is not entirely correct. Emergencies like hurricane, tornado, and flood disaster areas often have TFRs issued covering their areas - BUT it is quite possible to receive permission to fly in them. They become Temporary Controlled Airspace. So in layman's terms they do essentially become NFZ for the hobbyist flyer.
BUT, the National Parks are *not* by default controlled airspace. Each Superintendent of a NP has the right to decide whether launching/landing/operation are allowed in the park and if so, when and where. Overflight is still allowed but must follow all other FAA rules regarding usage.
