A small airport or landing field, typically for private aircraft or recreational flying, smaller than a commercial airport.
From 'air' (aircraft) + 'park' (a grounds or field). The term emerged in the early 20th century as recreational aviation developed.
Airparks democratized flying—rather than needing enormous, expensive facilities like commercial airports, small towns and private owners could build simple runways, making aviation accessible beyond major cities.
