Approximately between 1985 and 1990. The airport was depicted on the 1985 New Orleans Sectional Chart but was no longer listed in the 1990 AOPA Airports USA Directory. It was officially closed and its identifier (LS69) cancelled by the FAA on 04/01/1990.
Economic reasons, specifically the sale and redevelopment of the land for residential use. The location became more valuable for housing development as the Lafayette metropolitan area expanded. This is a common reason for the closure of small, privately-owned airfields located near growing urban centers.
The site of the former airport has been completely redeveloped into a residential subdivision. The name of the development, 'Greene Air Park Subdivision', pays homage to the site's history. The main road, 'Greene Air Park Drive', follows the exact path and orientation of the former runway. Another street in the subdivision is named 'Propeller Drive'. There are no remaining visible traces of the runway, hangars, or any other airport infrastructure.
Greene Air Park was a small, privately-owned general aviation airfield. It was established sometime between 1963 and 1968 and was owned by W.A. Greene. The facility featured a single unpaved turf runway, approximately 3,000 feet long, oriented roughly northeast/southwest. It primarily served local private pilots and their light aircraft for recreational flying and personal transportation. It did not handle commercial or military operations and its significance was local, providing an aviation facility for the Milton community before its closure.
None. The prospect of reopening the airport is nonexistent. The land is fully occupied by single-family homes, streets, and associated residential infrastructure, making it physically and legally impossible to revert the site to aviation use.
