The airport site has been completely redeveloped and no longer exists. The land is now occupied by a large residential housing community called 'Ardmore Reserve'. As a tribute to the site's aviation history, the developers named many of the streets with aviation-themed names, such as Take Off Trail, Crosswind Drive, Propeller Drive, and Amelia Earhart Way.

The Florida Flying Gators Airport was a small, private turf airstrip. It was not a public-use airport and did not handle commercial or significant general aviation traffic. Its primary function was to serve as a base for a local flying club and private pilots, likely focusing on ultralight, experimental, and light sport aircraft. The airport featured a single grass runway, approximately 1,800 feet long. Its significance was purely recreational, providing a local hub for aviation enthusiasts in the Minneola area before the region experienced significant suburban growth.

None. The site has been permanently converted to a high-density residential neighborhood. There is no remaining land or infrastructure for an airport, and the surrounding area is now heavily populated, making any future aviation use impossible.
