Everglades Airpark Шаблон:Airport codes is a public-use airport located Шаблон:Convert southwest of the central business district of the city of Everglades City in Collier County, Florida, United States. The airport is publicly owned.[1]

The airport was constructed in the 1940s by the Collier family and was used by the Civil Air Patrol, the Air Force, and private pilots.[2][3] The runway was initially a 1,000 foot paved strip with 500 feet of grass on either end.[2][3] President Harry Truman dedicated the Everglades National Park at the airport in December 1947.[2][3]

On September 9, 1960, Hurricane Donna destroyed the airport's hangar, office, fuel station, and other buildings.[2][3] In 1968, Collier County purchased Everglades Airpark from the Collier family for $125,000.[2] In 1993, the Collier County Airport Authority was created oto manage the development and operations to three local, publicly owned airports—Everglades Airpark, Immokalee Regional Airport, and Marco Island Executive Airport.[4]
