The exact date is not documented, but the airport was closed sometime between 1982 and 1993. It was listed as active in the 1982 AOPA Airports USA Directory but was no longer depicted on the 1993 Denver Sectional Chart.
The specific reason for closure is not officially recorded. However, as a small, privately-owned airfield (owned by Lindy T. Hall), its closure was most likely due to economic factors, the owner's retirement or death, or the sale of the land for other purposes. This type of closure is common for small general aviation strips that are no longer financially viable or needed by their owners.
The site is now private property and is used for agriculture. Satellite imagery clearly shows the land has been converted to farmland, though a faint outline of the former north-south runway is still visible in the fields. A few buildings, likely the original residence and a possible hangar, remain on the west side of the property, but there are no active aviation facilities.
Lindy's Airpark (formerly assigned FAA identifier 1CO1) was a small, private general aviation airfield. It held local significance for private pilots in the Hudson, Colorado area. It was not depicted on aeronautical charts prior to the mid-1960s, first appearing on the 1969 Cheyenne Sectional Chart. When active, it featured a single unpaved, north-south runway (16/34) with a length of approximately 2,600 feet. The airpark primarily served the personal and recreational flying needs of its owner and potentially a few other local pilots. Its operations were limited to small, single-engine aircraft typical of general aviation.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Lindy's Airpark. The land is privately owned and has been fully integrated into agricultural use for several decades. Given its proximity to other established airports and the nature of its closure, a return to aviation service is highly unlikely.
