For reasons of safety and noise, according to the Brownshirt ranger who unamusingly nabbed me ("Mate, this plane WILL be unsafe if you don't let me land it"). You can still let dogs run around off-leash, barking like a rabid beast, outside the marked dog-area, <i>while you bother someone flying a balsa glider</i>. You can wantonly play cricket, lobbing a 300g block of wood at innocent bystanders. You can even practice golf; but a silent glider that I won't let anyone under 10years old touch, let alone fly near? banned, nay, A CRIME. Mind you, the sign also says you can't land REAL aircraft there either! "OH CRAP! Our engine quit - there's a huge park! No, we'll have to crash in the Parramatta River, or crash into the Auburn refineries, otherwise Ryde Council will sue our arses off" I must say, I haven't seen too many Tiger Moths or Spitfires landing there, though it's easily big enough. Even if they did, <i>I'd love it</i>. I like aircraft noise. Those who don't shouldn't buy houses near airports and then complain; it's the sound of the modern world, people.

Besides, you get the extra added hilarity of being "creamed" halfway through. Hilarity ensues. :-) People who are too lazy(so I hear, not that I would have any personal knowledge of it myself) to get the bulbs or build a "bulbalator" just buy overpriced cans of Reddi-Whip(or the local discount store equivalent).
