Everglades Airpark
Everglades Airpark  is a public-use airport located  southwest of the central business district of the city of Everglades City in Collier County, Florida, United States. The airport is publicly owned. 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. The runway was initially a 1,000 foot paved strip with 500 feet of grass on either end. President Harry Truman dedicated the Everglades National Park at the airport in December 1947. On September 9, 1960, Hurricane Donna destroyed the airport's hanger, office, fuel station, and other buildings. In 1968, Collier County purchased Everglades Airpark from the Collier family for $125,000. 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.
