Welcome
Sylmar is the world capital of hang gliding and pilots have been flying hang gliders in these mountains since 1969. The first U.S. National Hang Gliding Championships were held here in 1973. The Flight Park is located just outside of Los Angeles and we enjoy around 300 days of flying a year. Please check out the rules and site information before flying here.
Pilots and non-pilots are welcome to enjoy our flight park year 'round! Fly high, fly far, fly safe!
Thanks for visiting the Sylmar Hang Gliding Association's Web site.

SHGA rule change: landing areas. The BOD decided at Thursday's meeting to allow all pilots to land either in the wash or on the lawn. The "numbers" line will be moved south about 100 feet. The portion of runway in the wash has become short and narrow, so this change should make landings safer for H2 and H3 pilots, with improved undershoot and overshoot options. H2 and H3 pilots are still expected to land near the beginning of the runway in the wash.
