Alvin Airpark sits in Alvin, Texas. The field elevation is 43 ft MSL. It has three turf runways. The longest is 1,500 ft on runway 06/24. This is an untowered field. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport sits in a low coastal area near Houston. That means you should pay close attention to runway condition and obstacle clearance.
The published remarks matter here. Runway 06/24 is marked by mowing. Its dimensions are hard to judge from the air. The surface is rough and uneven. Runway 03 has a fence near the southeast side and trees along the right side. Runway 21 has a fence close to the threshold and trees along the left side. Runway 12 also has a listed obstruction near the departure path. There is also a radio control model aircraft area northwest of the airport. For IFR clearance delivery, Houston Approach is listed in the Chart Supplement. Gates are locked, so contact the airport manager for ingress or egress. No on-field FBOs are listed, so verify current fuel and service options before you go.
