Ocean Park Association Membership

Members of the Association are individuals who have applied for and been accepted into membership by the Directors. You do not have to be an Ocean Park property owner to be a member. The members are those who have paid their dues for the previous year, thereby becoming eligible to hold office, serve on committees and vote. We urge all who have an interest in Ocean Park, who have not already done so, to join the Association and work to preserve and protect the community. (See Membership Application for details.)

In 1995, a new category of membership - Youth Members - was created. A young person under the age of 21 may become a member of the Association.
