King George Airpark

Economic reasons and urban encroachment. The airpark was located on prime real estate in the rapidly expanding city of Surrey, a major suburb of Vancouver. The increasing land value made it far more profitable to sell for commercial development than to continue operating as a small, private airfield.

The site has been completely redeveloped and is unrecognizable as a former airfield. It is now the location of the King's Cross Shopping Centre, a major retail complex that includes a large Canadian Tire store, a Save-On-Foods supermarket, and various other businesses and parking lots. The coordinates point directly to this commercial development.

King George Airpark was a small, private general aviation airfield primarily used for recreational flying, with a strong focus on ultralight aircraft. It featured a single, short, unpaved runway (approximately 1,500 feet long) oriented roughly north/south, parallel to King George Boulevard from which it derived its name. It served as a local hub for aviation enthusiasts in the Surrey area. The identifier CA-1096 appears to have been an informal or local identifier, as it does not conform to the official Transport Canada format (which typically starts with 'C').

None. The land is now a high-value, fully developed commercial property in a dense urban environment. There are no plans, prospects, or feasibility for the site to ever be reverted to aviation use.
