Approximately between 1970 and 1981. The airport was depicted on the 1970 Cleveland Sectional Aeronautical Chart but was no longer listed on the 1981 edition of the chart.
The specific reason for closure is not officially documented. As a small, privately-owned airfield, closure was most likely due to economic non-viability, the sale of the land for other purposes (in this case, agriculture), or the owner no longer wishing to maintain and operate it. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to a major accident or for military conversion.
The airport site has been completely decommissioned and has reverted to agricultural use. Modern satellite imagery of the coordinates shows open farmland. The faint outline of the former east-west runway is still slightly visible in the terrain and crop patterns, but no airport infrastructure, such as hangars, terminals, or other buildings, remains on the property.
Sleepy Hollow Airport was a small, private general aviation airfield. Its primary function was to serve local private pilots. It featured a single unpaved turf runway, designated as Runway 9/27, with a length of approximately 2,200 feet. The airport appears to have been established sometime in the early to mid-1960s, with its earliest known depiction being on the 1965 Cleveland Sectional Chart. Operations were limited to small, single-engine aircraft typical of general aviation. The identifier 'US-10113' is not an official FAA or ICAO code but an internal designation used by some third-party aviation databases.
None. The airport has been permanently closed for over four decades, and the land is privately owned and used for agriculture. There are no known plans, discussions, or prospects for it to ever be reopened as an aviation facility.
