Maryfield Airport

The airport was a small, privately owned aerodrome. Its closure was most likely due to economic reasons, a common fate for small rural airstrips. Factors typically include the high cost of maintenance, liability insurance, declining use, or the landowner deciding to repurpose the property for a more profitable venture, such as agriculture. There is no record of a specific accident or regulatory action forcing the closure.

The airport is permanently closed and no longer exists as an aviation facility. High-resolution satellite imagery of the coordinates shows that the land has been fully converted back to agricultural use. The faint outlines of the two former runways are still visible from the air, but they are completely overgrown and integrated into the surrounding farmland. There are no remaining airport infrastructure, such as hangars, lighting, or service buildings, on the site.

Maryfield Airport was a private general aviation facility serving the local community of Maryfield and the surrounding Rural Municipality of Maryfield No. 91. It was not a major commercial or military airport and has no known connection to historical programs like the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP). Its primary function was to support private recreational flying and potentially agricultural aviation services like crop dusting, which is vital in the prairies. The airfield consisted of two turf runways, approximately 2,300 feet long, arranged in an 'X' pattern to accommodate varying wind directions.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Maryfield Airport. The land is privately owned and actively farmed. Given the small population of the area and the lack of economic drivers to support a new airport, the prospect of it ever being re-established as an aviation facility is effectively zero. It is considered permanently defunct.
