You’re not alone if you’re looking for local spots in Benbrook to take your child out for drone-flying fun.
Many residents have been asking the same thing, especially when finding wide-open spaces without running afoul of city ordinances or FAA regulations.
The good news? Several community members have chimed in with great suggestions. One popular option is Castle Park and the nearby field, which offers plenty of open space for safe flying. Remember to keep the drone under 400 feet, within your line of sight, and steer clear of controlled airspace, particularly near the Joint Reserve Base (JRB).
Rolling Hills Park is another local favorite, offering ample room for recreational drone use. For more advanced flying or radio-controlled aircraft, Thunderbird Field on the south side of Benbrook Lake is a dedicated space that caters to hobbyists and enthusiasts alike.
Some have also mentioned the area near Baja Beach at Benbrook Lake, which features a few open spots perfect for low-key flights with kids.
So whether you’re helping your child hone their piloting skills or just enjoying a tech-savvy afternoon outdoors, Benbrook has a few hidden gems where your drones—and imaginations—can soar.
