Furthermore the symbol that is used for them is way too big for this purpose while it does not provide a good idea where such site is actually located. I would welcome either the possibility to disable them or use a small icon instead like any other airport on the map.

Yes, all of them are from GND up to 3000ft.

That means that they can be hidden by disabling sporting areas, though we would not recommend it. The reason they are included is because they do winch-launching, and the cable is a hazard.
