The Morris Park Aerodrome (also known as the Morris Park Volery) was a short-lived airfield in what is now the Morris Park section of the Bronx, New York, United States. The aerodrome occupied the grounds of the former Morris Park Racecourse which had closed in 1904. The space was used for automobile racing for a few years, then sold to real-estate developers who encountered financial difficulties and the land reverted to the City of New York in 1907. The newly-formed Aeronautical Society of New York leased the land in 1908 and used it as an aerodrome for two years until it was developed for residential use.
