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.

Tom "Santa Claus" Cornelius passed away Sunday afternoon, May 6, from natural causes, doing one of the things he loved most — flying paragliders. Thank you, Tom, for all you have done for the Club and its members. Fly with the angels.
The day use fee has been raised from $5 to $10, effective immediately. Hopefully this change will encourage some to choose membership over day use, and is the same amount that Andy Jackson Fligh Park has been charging for many years..
New grass has been placed around the pavilion patio. This is sod obtained for free by Kris Greblo. Please keep it wet and DO NOT walk on it for at least a week.
More new grass (sod) is being delivered Friday morning to cover the area in front of the new tree. Unfortunately the attempt to seed this area was a failure so the area is in process of being rototilled again to make ready for sod. If you have some time to spare please come out early and help lay it down. Delivery time is not certain but expected between 6:00 and 7:00 am. Read More News >>
