Spaceport R/Cers, Inc., contracts, operates, and maintains the location.
Although our airfield is located within a public park, our Club has the land and location use, under contract with the County Parks. Our Club has been the stewards of the location and have used it for Model R/C since 1975. With that, the general public is allowed to use the field, via pedestrian access, when members are not present, and the vehicle gate access is locked.
For vehicle access for non-members of the Club, there must be a member present, or they must be a guest to a member.
Another option is to join the Club, which will give full member access to the facilities.
