Landing Area
STP has 2 primary landing areas. The main landing area, a grassy, wide open field, is for jumpers of all levels. There is also a high performance landing area designated for swoopers. Both are an easy walk back to the hangar. Here is an aerial photo of the DZ and the surrounding area: Here is another photo of the landing area, looking toward the West:
Skydive the Point, established in 1962, is one of the oldest skydiving clubs in the United States. Because we are a club, our objective is to be safe, have fun and continuously improve the DZ. So whether you’re into RW, Freeflying, Wingsuits or any other discipline, if you’re looking for a DZ that jumps hard, knows how to have fun and loves having new folks join in, this is the place for you! Normal hours of operation are Saturdays and Sundays, 8 am to sunset. We’re also open Friday afternoons from May to September!
