The big parks with ball fields and picnic areas generally have "no golf" postings. Some of the smaller pocket parks do not (pocket = one football or softball field, and that's about it).

I would definitely check out the local laws about it, but if you cant find anything, talk to the head groundskeeper at the park. As the head groundskeeper at a park in NJ, i do let people hit balls, depending on the situation.

You know I never even thought about this... my old school is two blocks away and it has an entire block of grass available and not in use. Best part is, the school isn't being used anymore...

At the end of my street is a cul-de-sac with a "public park" - not much of a park, just grass with a bike path going through it. I have a tube of "Almost golf balls" that are made of hard plastic and advertised as neighborhood safe. I have hit them off my own house/car/kids and can attest that they won't break anything but they can sting a little.

I hit balls everywhere :) I'll just drive around until I see a big open park area and get out and hit golf balls.

Theres a small park across the street from my house where I practice my wedge shots. Its not much but unlike going to the range, its free.

I carry a shag bag and a few wedges in my car, during lunch, or on the way to somewhere I can drop in for a few hits. I never felt uncomfortable , but I also dont stand in the middle of the field taking massive divots. If people show up I just leave.
