As far as land boarding in local parks go, check with your local government as you're not allowed to have too much fun these days and they are the fun police.?
What does that mean? They have it "stitched up"? You can't legally kite 200m from the beach or 200m beyond the beach?
Also, I have seen parasailers taking off from the parks before with their petrol engine thingies. It would be rare for a ranger to spot you.
Most people think local govt authority stop at the high tide mark, most actually run 200m out to sea. So they can control where you launch and land and they can control where you kite given 95% of kiting is within that first 200m out from the beach. Every local govt is different, I don't think Geraldton has any restrictions, nor Gingin (Lancelin) but Perth metro beaches have loads of restrictions on where you can and can't kite or conduct kite related activities.
They don't need to put signs up either, they can just bury it in their by-laws where you can and can't kite.
Agreed, that chances of getting caught and fined either in a park or on the water if its a prohibited area are slim to none but that wasn't the original question.
Once you're out and away from beaches your main restriction is the Dept of Transport Regs
