Comment: Source 2 [1] is very good, but it is currently the only source that provides independent and signficiant coverage. We would need one or two more like this to show that this airport is notable. Toadspike [Talk] 20:55, 23 May 2025 (UTC)

The Salt Lake City Model Plane Airport is an park in West Salt Lake City created for flying model planes and helicopters. It replaces the previous Jordan River Model Airport^[1], which closed in 2010. The Salt Lake City Model Plane Airport opened on Nov 2, 2016. The relocation of the airport was stalled after litigations arose about the Regional Athletic Complex, the park that was built over the airport.^[2] The new Modelport has a 550 ft runway (60 ft wide), a 35 foot heliport, and a RC car track.^[3] The park also has an area to set up and work on planes before flight.^[4] The Model Plane Airport also includes restroom facilities, shaded pavillions, and a gravel parking lot.
