RC Plane flying

can any one suggest locations to fly RC planes in Sterling/Herndon? - i am new to this hobby and I am already tired of ridicolous politics of local flying club and I don't think I am ready to take up that so will want to goto any local parks that allow or atleast tolerate it. I fly a small electric glider which is not that noisy

Any tips are appreciated.

Couple old threads about this - I know nothing personally:

How about Haley Smith Park?

or

Beaume Circle in Ashburn has plenty of space. I see people flying there all of the time.

I see people flying planes occasionally above the sports fields at Baron Cameron park on Wiehle in Reston.

I saw some folks (er...their planes) just off Westfields Blvd on Sunday morning flying RC planes. it looked like, from Westfields (ground hidden behind tree line), they were flying them here or very near here:
