Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 25, 2025
Closure Date

Approximately between 2008 and 2011. Analysis of historical satellite imagery shows a well-maintained grass runway in 2008, which becomes progressively overgrown and unmaintained by 2011. The airstrip was likely officially decommissioned during this period.

Reason for Closure

The specific reason is not publicly documented, which is typical for a small, privately-owned airstrip. The closure was most likely due to the personal circumstances of the owner, such as retirement from flying, the sale of the property, the high cost of maintenance, or the owner's passing. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to a specific accident, military conversion, or broader economic factors.

Current Status

The site is no longer an airport. The land has completely reverted to a natural state. The area of the former grass runway is now an overgrown field with shrubs and young trees, making it completely unusable for aviation. The property appears to be private residential or agricultural land. A small building that was likely the hangar still exists on the property, but its current use is unknown.

Historical Significance

Patterson's Corners Private Strip was a small, general aviation airfield serving its private owner(s) for recreational flying. Its operations would have been limited to light, single-engine aircraft (like Cessnas or Pipers) capable of using a short, unpaved runway. All flights were conducted under Visual Flight Rules (VFR). The strip held no major historical or commercial significance and served a purely private, local purpose.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects to reopen the airstrip. Given that the land has been non-operational for over a decade and the runway area is fully overgrown, re-establishing an aerodrome would require significant investment in land clearing, groundwork, and navigating the regulatory process with Transport Canada. The likelihood of it reopening as an airport is virtually zero.
