Location of Flight Park State Recreation Area in Utah

Flight Park State Recreation Area is a state park of Utah, USA, dedicated to hang gliding and paragliding. The park is located on the south side of Point of the Mountain, just north of Lehi. Flight Park is being jointly managed by Utah State Parks and the Utah Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association (UHGPGA) to preserve this unique recreation area that is an excellent site for teaching and gathering experience for flyers of all levels. It is known worldwide as one of the best training sites for both paragliding and hang gliding.

Just west of the parking lot there is also a modelport for radio control airplanes and helicopters.[3]

The park is located almost entirely in northern Utah County, although a tiny section of its northwest corner extends into Salt Lake County, according to the map on its official website.
