Hi Phantom owners in GTA. Would be great to have a list of locations to practice and shoot video in the GTA. Any suggestions?

Depending on where I am at the time, these are some great places to play around:

East End: Riverdale Park
+ It overlooks the DVP, has wide open spaces, not that used during the day, great view of the city
- Almost every night there are kids sports, a little on the small side

Far East: Scarborough Bluffs Park
+ Right on the water, great view of the little marina
- Right on the water, not the safest place when it gets dark

West End: Trinity Bellwoods Park
+ Well lit for night flying, dog/drum circle area perfect shape for practicing orbits, many restaurants in the area to charge batteries
- A lot of dogs running around if that makes you nervous, always a lot of people around

Far West: High Park
+ Plenty of space and different scenery for multiple flights, a lot of mini-clearings, wide paths to flow low through the trees
- A LOT of really tall trees, certain areas are always packed with people, compass issues in some areas

North End: G. Ross Lord Park
+ A lot of little clearings, small streams that are easily crossable, plaza parking so your car is safe
- Very thick trees and brush, any weather basically grounds you

Far North: Kortright Conservation Area
+ Large area without much civilization, a lot of little clearings, a lot of clearings and different landscapes
- Overgrown if you leave the main path so bring shoes not sandals

Thanks, those sound like great places. One more that'll give you great footage is Cheltenham Badlands. Really cool landscape.
