Anyone have any suggestions for an area like that?
So #1 recommendation is make friends with a land owner! Your post here on RideForum might help you with that. We'll see.
Good news is I do have an option for you! Turns out the Santa Fe Trail Cycle Park (Carbondale) has a pretty large open grassy area that would be perfect for what you want to do. It's an area just N of their vintage motocross track (also used for peewee races). Some details and directions in this thread:
