Yes, I can get all I want out of my backyard.
I’d think any city park or athletic field would be great, as long as they don’t treat the soil for grubs which is pretty unlikely.
Biggest worry I’d have these days in going on public property at night is with the Cell Phone Cop Culture where every busybody with a damn cell phone thinks they’re some kind of cop on patrol and they have to call in everything that “looks suspicious”. Inevitably these busybodies are going to embellish and that sets up the risk of a massive over-reaction based on the false report.
Bottom line is I’d find a place that’s below the brow of a hill or otherwise out of sight and I’d probably also use a red filter on my light just to minimize the chance old biddies would see me and lie to the police when they called it in.
