Spruce Creek Private Airport | Where Everybody Owns an Airplane
Spruce Creek is the world’s largest fly-in community, which also are
called airparks. Spruce Creek Airport is a private airport located in
south of the central business district of Daytona Beach, in Volusia
County, Florida, United States. It was originally constructed during
World War II as an outlying field (OLF) to nearby Naval Air Station
DeLand and NAS Daytona Beach. OLF Spruce Creek originally had four paved
4,000 foot runways and was abandoned by the U.S. Navy in 1946.
Spruce Creek Airport
operates exclusively to service the residents of the Spruce Creek
Community, a gated enclave and residential airpark development, which
surrounds the airport on all sides with over 5,000 residents, 1,300
homes and 700 hangars, a championship golf course, country club, and
24-hour patrolling security. Fly-In residents enjoy sole access to the
airport's one remaining operational runway directly from their homes. In
addition to all the airplanes and golf cars, you'll see Lamborghinis,
Corvettes, motorcycles of every description and even a Porsche GT2.
