Landing Areas

Skydive Elsinore has over two acres of plush green grass conveniently located next to the packing and loading areas.

Two additional landing areas on either side of the main area help to meet the diverse needs of today's skydivers.

Our swoop pond and adjacent high performance landing area allow our most aggressive canopy pilots to work on technique while safely avoiding traffic.

Students have several acres of convenient and clear area to plan and execute proper patterns. If accuracy is your challenge, we can prepare an accuracy pit for you.
