Hidden Hills Airport

As a private airfield, no official public reason was documented. The closure was most likely due to the cessation of private use by the property owner(s). This is common for small airstrips and can be attributed to factors such as the sale of the land, the high cost of maintenance and insurance, the owner's retirement from flying, or a general lack of interest in keeping the facility operational.

The site is currently a collection of rural residential properties. The physical outline of the runway is still clearly visible from satellite imagery, but it is no longer maintained as an aviation surface. The runway is degraded, partially overgrown with desert vegetation, and shows signs of being used by ground vehicles for local access. The adjacent properties, some of which have large hangar-style buildings, remain as private residences. The land is privately owned and is not used for any aviation purposes.

Hidden Hills Airport was a small, private-use airfield. Its historical significance is minimal and localized. It appeared on aviation charts in the early 2000s as a private field with a single unpaved dirt/gravel runway, approximately 3,600 feet in length. The layout suggests it was intended to be a small residential airpark, allowing residents to park their personal aircraft at their homes. Operations would have been limited to general aviation, consisting of light, single-engine aircraft (like Cessnas or Pipers) capable of using a short, unpaved strip. It had no commercial, cargo, or military operations.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Hidden Hills Airport. The land is subdivided among multiple private owners, and the runway itself is in a state of complete disrepair. The cost and logistical complexity of acquiring the necessary land rights from all owners, restoring the runway surface, and meeting any regulatory requirements make reopening extremely unlikely. The site is expected to remain as residential land with the ghost of a runway as a landmark.
