I'm new to the hobby, but I'm guessing that if you do not own whatever property it is, you need to get permission ahead of time, regardless if its a park, school, etc. It will be a few weeks before it warms up enough in my area to go on expeditions, so I've been researching the oldest areas of my town, and have been compiling a list of contacts to try and gain permission when it gets closer.
