Glenview Airport

Cessation of private use. Glenview Airport was a private airstrip, likely associated with the property on which it was located (reportedly owned by 'Glenview Aviaries'). The closure was not due to public policy, military conversion, or a major incident, but rather the termination of aviation activities by the owner. The subsequent repurposing of the land, specifically the construction of a pond on the runway, indicates a definitive change in land use.

The site is no longer an airport. The former grass runway is completely unusable for aviation. It is overgrown, and a significant portion of its length has been excavated to create a large, man-made pond. The surrounding property appears to be a private rural estate or farm, consistent with its past.

Glenview Airport held no major national or regional historical significance. It was a private grass airstrip serving the needs of its owner for recreational general aviation. Its operations would have been limited to small, single-engine aircraft like Cessnas or Pipers. It was one of several small, private airfields in the Niagara Region, catering to local aviation enthusiasts, but it never handled commercial, military, or significant flight training operations.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. Given that it was a private facility and the land has been physically and permanently altered (with the construction of the pond), a reopening is considered extremely unlikely. It would require a new owner with an interest in aviation to undertake significant and costly land restoration.
