You can also see Bird's Eye view.... what is this place?

Answer 1

Area around Redstone Arsenal.

EDIT:

The giant red field is exactly that.

" Since the inception of Redstone Arsenal, it has been a matter of recorded history that the name Redstone came from "the preponderance of red soil."

Answer 2

Redstone Arsenal, Huntsville, Alabama. This is a U.S. Gov. installation.

Answer 3

Looks like McDonnell Elementary School in Huntsville, Alabama.

ADDED LATER: Definitely NOT Redstone Arsenal, which is well to the southwest and much, MUCH larger than this area. And it's a big red field on Google Earth, too. Hmmm...

ADDED EVEN LATER: This is driving me crazy. The school's phone number is [phone]. I'll call them tomorrow or Monday and ask them what it is.

Answer 4

A school perhaps.

There is a carpark and some basketball courts as well as a 400 metre track. All of those boxes are air-conditioning vents.

Answer 5

jgoulden has it. I did some research and lost the question. Had to do a search for it. It's McDonnell Elementary School, 4010 Binderton Pl SW, Huntsville Alabama, 35805
