History

The air park was established in the early 1960s and by the 1970s it housed about 120 aircraft. The 85th chapter of the Recreational Aircraft Association of Canada (RAA 85) constructed an aircraft hangar and clubhouse on the site in the 1970s.^[2]

In 1995 the park was acquired by Metro Vancouver who planned on turning the land into a park. An agreement was reached between Metro Vancouver and RAA 85 to allow flying to continue within the air park.^[3]

As of 2020, about 60 aircraft are stationed at the park including many antiques.^[2]

The park hosts an annual fly-in.^[4]
