Accessibility

Parking

ALL parking lots will have ADA parking located at the front. Each lot is located on a hard surface.

You will need the ADA placard, or the ADA license plate, as well as the parking pass for the respective lot. There are NO ADA specific parking passes for Hillsboro.

ADA spaces are first-come, first park. We recommend arriving as early as possible to secure a spot.

All parking lots will open 30mins before gates into the Air Show open.

Show Grounds

The show is located on a hard surface and easy to navigate.

Bathrooms

There will be several ADA accessible portable bathrooms located around show grounds.

In addition, if you are in a premium seating area, there will be handicap accessible portable bathrooms in those areas as well.

Mobility Aids

We will not have the option to rent scooters, wheelchairs and other mobility aids. However, mobility aids are welcome into the show.

If you are in general admission, we encourage you to bring in your own chairs, as seating in general admission is not provided.

Premium Seating

Premium seating areas are on grass, so if you need additional assistance, please alert one of our volunteers, who will be located throughout the premium seating areas.

Service Animals

Recognized service animals are permitted. However, we would advise you to take strong consideration before bringing a service animal to the event.

Jet aircraft can be very loud, the airport ramp surface can get very hot on the paws and animals must be under control at all times.

Shade

Shade is limited at the show. If you cannot be in the sun for long periods, we recommend one of our premium seating areas, or bringing a small hand-held umbrella. Pop-up tents are not permitted.

Hearing Protection

If you or anyone in your group is sensitive to loud sounds, we recommend bringing your own ear protection.

While some vendors may sell hearing protection, we cannot guarantee supplies will last.
