Baltimore Airpark, formerly Quinn Airport was an airport located in Perry Hall, Maryland, United States.

History

The airport was named after Perry Hall grading contractor Frank Quinn, who excavated the 1800 ft field in the early 1950s. The first aircraft to land at the strip was a J-3 Cub, which rolled over on the dirt runway.

The 60 acre field was under pressure to be developed, with offers of up to a million dollars for the land. Baltimore county rezoned the land as part of the Honeygo growth zone. Attempts were made to lease the property to the Baltimore County Aviation unit, which eventually moved to Martin State Airport. It was closed and sold for a housing development in 2001.
