I'd say go for it. It's public and safe enough. Always take personal safety into consideration... don't run off in private with someone you don't know! That is common sense, not a BDSM rule. Doesn't matter what lifestyle you choose there are people who can hurt you. Be smart and safe. However I think it would be good for you to meet some people in the lifestyle, you will get a better understanding of how people work. All of us are different in the way we choose to live. I hope you choose to go, and I hope you have a wonderful time!
