Sandy Creek Airpark (FAA LID: 75FL) is a private residential airpark located in the East Bay Sector, 10 miles (16 km) southeast of the central business district of Panama City, in Bay County, Florida, United States.[1] This airport has one dusk-to-dawn lighted runway, and a green-white beacon. The facility is used primarily by residents/association members, their tenants and guests, and members of the EAA Chapter 202.

Phase I of Sandy Creek Airpark was completed in 1983, followed by Phase II in 1988. Sandy Creek Airpark will soon develop Phase III. Improvements will include extending the runway, in addition to residential and light commercial development.

Panama City-Bay County International Airport planned to relocate outside the city limits to the West Bay Sector in 2009. Sandy Creek Airpark planned to accommodate the general aviation community of eastern Bay County and western Gulf County (Mexico Beach).
