Before

After

Simas Park in Santa Maria is a small community park that can sometimes be used for very light, casual RC flying during quiet hours when no sports practices or family activities are taking place. Because it is a shared public space, pilots should prioritize safety, keep flights low-risk, and avoid operating near playgrounds, sports fields, or groups of people.

All FAA recreational rules still apply at Simas Park, including carrying a TRUST certificate and using Remote ID if required for your aircraft. Pilots should remain highly aware of their surroundings, since park activity can change quickly and space is limited.

Smaller, lightweight aircraft are strongly recommended here to reduce risk and improve control in tighter areas. Responsible flying and respect for other park users is essential to keep this location viable for casual RC practice.
