Milverton Field

Change of land use by the private owner. Milverton Field was a private aerodrome, and its closure was not due to a major accident, military conversion, or public policy. The most common reason for the closure of such small, private strips is the owner ceasing aviation activities, selling the property, or finding the land more valuable for other purposes, which in this case was agriculture. The land was fully reclaimed for farming.

The site is no longer an airport and has been fully converted back to agricultural use. Recent satellite imagery shows the exact location of the former runway is now a cultivated farm field, seamlessly integrated with the surrounding farmland. Any associated aviation infrastructure, such as runway markers or a windsock, has been removed. The original hangar may still exist as a farm outbuilding on the adjacent property.

Milverton Field, also known as 'Milverton (Rolling Acres) Field', was a private general aviation aerodrome. Its significance was primarily local, serving the owner and potentially other recreational pilots in the Perth County area. It featured a single turf runway (14/32) approximately 2,300 feet long. Operations would have been limited to small, single-engine aircraft suitable for grass strips, such as Cessnas, Pipers, or ultralights. It played a small role in the local recreational flying community but had no commercial, industrial, or military significance.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Milverton Field. The land has been repurposed for agriculture, and re-establishing an aerodrome would require significant investment and effort from the current landowner to take the land out of production and re-certify it with Transport Canada. Given the complete conversion of the site, a reopening is considered extremely unlikely.
