Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement or tower gives you something different. Expect a busy training environment. Published remarks say there is extensive flight training in Class D airspace from the surface to 3,000 ft AGL. That matters if you are arriving VFR. Keep your spacing tight and listen carefully for tower instructions.
