Grand Haven Memorial Airpark (FAA LID: 3GM) is a public airport owned and operated by the City of Grand Haven located 2 miles (3.2 km) southeast of Grand Haven, Michigan, United States. The airport is uncontrolled, and is used for general aviation purposes. It is included in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2017–2021, in which it is categorized as a local general aviation facility.^[1]

The airport is located near the Grand Haven beach. It holds an annual Dawn Patrol/pancake breakfast to which airplanes from all over Michigan fly in.

Active associations at the airport include the EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association) Chapter 211 and the Grand Haven Aviation Association. The airport has courtesy bikes for those who fly in. Radio controlled aircraft operations are permitted on the northwest side of runway 18 only if they are a member of the Aircraft Model Association.

The majority of the operations are general aviation. There are 64 hangars on the airport grounds, including a full-service A & P maintenance shop.

Along the driveway is a static display of a USAF F-100 Super Sabre jet, painted in USAF Thunderbird colors, that was loaned to the airport in 1969.^[2] The jet was refurbished in the summer of 2016 by local Grand Haven Aviation Association Members.
