On the southeast corner of I-70 and Monaghan Road is an interesting piece of land. There is a diagonal slash through it, that looks like a road. What few people know is that it is an abandoned runway and planes flew out of Aurora Airpark as late as 2004, with an average of 60 takeoff/landings per day.
Note that this was one of FIVE airports in the Aurora area. The others were Stapleton, Lowry AFB, Buckley, and Front Range Airport.
