Insider tips

Bring a portable shade umbrella or hat as there is very little natural tree cover in the open sports and flying zones.

Coordinate your visit with local aviation hobbyist schedules to observe model airplane flight demonstrations.

Verify wind conditions before arrival, as the open riverside location can experience strong gusts.
