Our Story

Ohio’s Flying Community Since 1965

In June 1965, pilot and hometown son Daniel E. Weltzien turned the Williams Farm on Acme Hill into a runway with taxiways to every home. The Ohio Historical Society later recognized Skypark, with a marker erected in 2002, as a first of its kind in Ohio.

Weltzien’s dream: a place where the family car and the family airplane share the same garage, driveway and street.
