A couple things; Do the Park rules allow UAS in general? Were the AMA guys flying at a Model Airport within the park?
The State Park near my house ONLY ALLOWS R/C vehicles, boats, planes, cars, Quads, etc in designated areas. Within this State Park there is a Model Airport. So you can fly within that area with the blessing of the Park/Park Rangers. The LHS tried to take an R/C boat out there where Jet Skis, Power boats, pontoon boats, etc are allowed, but R/C boats are NOT allowed, Park Rangers saw this and made them take the boat out of the water. There are actually no zones in that park that allows R/C boats...
I ask those question cause if those AMA guys are flying within a legitimate Model Airport then you have every right to fly within that model airport area as the park apparently created it for UAS use. IF they are flying there because the Park allows them to fly EVEN THOUGH the written Park rules forbids it, then the Park Ranger is violating the rules by letting them fly and the Ranger should be reported. I'd video it and take it to the people in charge of the State Park....
Now one final thing, the Park Rule may actually exclude "Drones" from flying. If thats the case, you're going to have to fight the Parks Commission to get that changed... Good Luck!
