Adjacent to our community is a Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge. What makes Ocean Park so delightful and memorable is the sense of community - a key element of our tradition. Walk down any street and people will greet you warmly - old friends and strangers alike. Ocean Park is families. Many cottages have been in the same families for over a hundred years.
Families worship together, go to the beach together and to the movies together.
Ocean Park offers a feeling of belonging, continuing relationships, inspirational worship, safety, security and bonding to a very special place. Ocean Parkers are proud of these old-fashioned values, whose loss our society is lamenting and trying to rediscover. In the late nineteenth century, the camp meeting movement gave birth to more than 350 assembly centers scattered across the United States. All assembly centers were situated near water with a grove of trees nearby. The Ocean Park Assembly is one of the few remaining active assembly centers.
