Flight Park State Recreation Area

Flight Park State Recreation Area is a recreation area near Salt Lake City designed for aerial sports like paragliding and hang gliding. The terrain sits at a high elevation and includes dedicated launch areas, landing zones, and support facilities for these activities.

The area was developed to provide pilots with a dedicated location for their aerial activities. Official status came through cooperation between state park authorities and the local flying community.

Pilots from around the world come here to practice their skills and connect with others who share their passion for aerial sports. This location has become an important meeting place for the hang gliding and paragliding community.

The park is easily accessible from nearby highways and provides parking areas and visitor facilities. Wear sturdy shoes as the terrain is uneven and the high elevation may affect your physical activity.

A dedicated zone at the park allows enthusiasts to fly remote-controlled model airplanes and helicopters. This separate area keeps small-scale flying activities distinct from the larger aircraft operations happening elsewhere on the grounds.
