Scholarship Application Deadline:🧑🎓 March 31
The Ocean Park Civic League has for many years offered a scholarship in honor of George and Louise Lyon. This scholarship recognizes student achievement and encourages community volunteerism. It provides a yearly grant of $1500 for up to four years to the selected student who must be graduating from a Virginia Beach high school and who will attend a college or university, nursing, or accredited post secondary career/vocational school in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The scholarship is awarded based on need for financial assistance, overall qualifications and a record of community service by the applicant. Additional consideration is given to residents of Ocean Park.
Here are the applications for 2026-27. Deadline for applications is March 31, 2026.
🌿Thanks to all who helped at the Pleasure House 🌅 Point 🚯Clean Up from 9-12 on March 14! See you April 18th!
Any time you can give between 9 am and 12 pm to walk the trails and pick up trash is greatly appreciated!
The Ocean Park Civic League has been the sponsor for the Adopt-A-Spot(Park) program for Pleasure House Point since the city opened it as a park. Suzi Walton, the civic league president at the time, saw to it that, as the community was so instrumental in the process of discouraging the development of the natural area and fighting for its survival, that we (the Ocean Park community) should be the designated sponsor. And as she was formerly an administrator in the city’s Parks and Rec Department, she was able to claim it for us. She conducted the first cleanups and had enormous support from the board, many of whom showed up to participate in the removal of an enormous amount of refuse.
Mary Faust has organized the cleanups of PHP for many years. She reminds us that the city does not undertake any cleanup responsibilities for PHP since it is a ‘preserve’. The work that the community does to clean up trash and litter at Pleasure House Point is enormously important so that it will be a beautiful natural place for all to enjoy. Mary is ready with bags, gloves and grabbers! (not to mention the delicious treats!). Thank you, Mary!
