The airport authority operates an official observation park off of International Drive, located near the Air Traffic Control Tower and Park and Ride 2. The park includes an elevated, covered viewing platform with audio from the control tower. There are benches located on the viewing platform, and benches and picnic tables in the vicinity along with a small playground. Parking at the park is free, and there are public restrooms on site. The observation park offers views of 5L/23R, the longest runway at the airport. The overall field of view is good, with a small obstruction caused by a building between the park and the tarmac. | The airport authority operates an official observation park off of International Drive, located near the Air Traffic Control Tower and Park and Ride 2.
