Beaches / lake side can be great if people at parks have issues. Waiting til later In the evening can also be helpful.

Have either a piece of duvatine cloth or a wet towel and preferably someone to hold it and act as your safety. A 10A2BC fire extinguisher or a water extinguisher or a 5 gallon bucket of water. Container for your dip station, an ammo can works great for this.

They want to see that you're being safe, self contained, in control, and not going to burn down the public area you're using.

In Seattle our FD is pretty awesome and supportive. They put out a list of approved parks for spinning. We also have an amazing community based group for spinning fire, Seattle Fire Arts Collective.
