Ocean Park Community Association Accomplishments

The Ocean Park Community Association has  a long history of community achievements.  So long, it dates back to 1925 when the hall was built, and the Association was formed. Since then, many projects, issues, and initiatives have been spearheaded, supported and partnered on with the support of our Association. From providing the hall for community groups to come together, liaising with The City of Surrey to host public information meetings, or digging in themselves - we have achieved so much!

In 1927, the Community Association spearheaded the drive to have a library in Ocean Park. Eventually a mobile library began regular visits to Ocean Park. In 1972 the first official library was built in Ocean Park. In the mid 90's residents fought to keep the existing library land after Safeway expressed interest in buying the property for their expansion. In 2000 a new larger library was built - which is the library we all enjoy now.
