Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

Approximately between 2013 and 2017. Historical satellite imagery shows a clearly defined and maintained grass runway in 2013. By 2017, the runway area was no longer distinct and appears to have been fully absorbed into the surrounding agricultural fields for cultivation.

Reason for Closure

The specific reason for the closure is not officially documented. The closure of small, privately-owned airfields like this is commonly due to economic factors, the sale of the property, liability concerns, or the owner's retirement or death. The complete conversion of the land back into a cultivated farm field strongly suggests a deliberate change in land use by the property owner.

Current Status

The site is currently used for agriculture. The former grass runway has been completely removed and the land is now a cultivated farm field, indistinguishable from the surrounding farmland. There are no remaining buildings, hangars, windsocks, or any other visible remnants of its past use as an airfield.

Historical Significance

Alberta Ultralight Flightpark was a private airfield dedicated to serving the ultralight aviation community. Its significance was local, providing a base for recreational flying enthusiasts in the Harrison County, Kentucky area. It featured a single, unpaved grass runway oriented in a north-south direction. Operations would have been limited to ultralight aircraft, which are single-seat, lightweight recreational vehicles. The flightpark would have served as a launch point for local flights and a social hub for pilots with a shared interest in this specific category of aviation.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. Given that the land has been fully reclaimed for private agricultural use, its restoration as an airfield is highly improbable unless the property is sold to a new owner with a specific interest and resources to re-establish aviation operations.
