CAT Park Low and Mid Power field.
In the warmer months when our high power field is planted with crops, we are able to still launch low and mid power rockets at our summer field.

Due to the size of the field, we are limited to class one rockets, meaning we can launch up to a small H motor.
RSO will use their discretion for any flights that may fly outside the launch area due to it being in a location with commercial properties in the vicinity.
Indiana Rocketry would like to thank the Lafayette Parks Department for allowing us to use this field.
