Awesome place to sit and think while watch planes come and go! Picnic area to sit and eat if u take a meal for yourself or a family! Large grass area for kids to run & play safely!

Hazel Mae Holmes

If you enjoy watching, hearing the planes and relaxing... This is the place to be. You can wave bye to a loved one or watch their plane land... Plenty of parking , benches and shade for a picnic !????

I come here to unwind, pray, write, and to get my "geek on.". Great to watch planes take-off and land. Bring the radio scanner, binoculars and load the flight board app in the smart phone.

It's my first time here and cant wait to come back in the fall. There are plenty of benches . Also I see a port potty. Great for kids BEAUTIFUL Sky Line in the back view

Around this time of the year, make sure you bring your jacket (or a blanket) since it is chilly! And maybe some snacks and a camera that shoots video too. Enjoy the view !

Caleb Howell

Great spot for everyone. Download the LiveATC.net app to listen to ATC and download the FlightBoard app to see info about the aircraft (such as destination and aircraft model)

Several benches for you to sit and observe the Center Runway. Picnic Tables in a grassy area behind the parking area. No restrooms . Pretty cool place. Pretty active airport

If you should come in between Winter and and Spring bring a jacket or if it's a cloudy day because it's very windy.

Matthew Phillips

Great view of Rwy 18C/36C. Planes feel close, but aren't terribly loud . (My small children weren't scared.) Limited picnic tables , but plenty of benches .

Lizzie Jade

Do you think a food truck would be good to have at the Overlook? Maybe May/June - October/November? Upvote to let me know!

Go at night on Sundays. Tons of planes taking off around 6 and after.

Don't forget some chairs. The picnic tables are too far back to see the planes .
