Background
Built circa May 2015, Walker Field was initially a simple airfield consisting of an unmarked/unlit dirt landing surface, a basic wooden ATC tower, and DSA refuelling facilities. By September 2015, the owner had demolished the facility and converted the airfield into a heliport with (initially three separately marked) helipads. Below the airstrip there is a Pelican Bay Marina.
