Discover downtown Ocean City and all its fun
his summer, take a stroll off OC’s great beach and check out downtown food, shopping and special events. Downtown Ocean City is the perfect vacation spot for all groups, from families to the over-21 crowd. Offering attractions for all ages and interests, such as amusements and museums, or parks and water activities, you can make Ocean City the vacation you desire. In addition to these attractions, there is a variety of hotels and restaurants, with a broad a variety of styles and rates. Some of these establishments have served Ocean City visitors for generations, while others are quite new. In addition, there are plenty of accommodations that are available for daily, weekly, seasonal, or year-round rental. Another major draw of the downtown area is its
restaurants and don’t forget our famous Maryland blue crabs. Along with the eateries right on the Boardwalk, other popular options can be found along the bayside and streets of the downtown area of the resort. Whether you’re looking for a quiet crowd or a party crowd, you don’t have to look far. Retail stores are necessary in establishing a strong identity for a downtown area and Ocean City is no exception. While the Boardwalk businesses provide a multitude of retail goods to visitors, from sweets to graphic-tees, businesses off the Boardwalk offer more of a specialty character. The next time you are in the downtown area, make sure you pop in for some shopping. Here are several other reasons to visit downtown Ocean City, whether it’s during the off-season
or in the height of summer: Historic buildings, special events, parks and open spaces such as Somerset Plaza, the Inlet Park, Sunset Park, and the Ocean Bowl Skate Park, the oldest public operating skate park in the country. In addition, there are amusements and arcades, the Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum, Ripley’s Believe It or Not Museum, water sports and fishing and bicycles and Segways. So the next time you are downtown, make sure you take advantage of the many things to do and see both on and off the Boardwalk. (The OCDC is a nonprofit organization charged with revitalizing downtown Ocean City.

Sunset Park: small venue has big schedule S
unset Park, located along South Division Street between Philadelphia Avenue and the bay in downtown Ocean City, is Ocean City’s newest park and more people are discovering it each year. It is located immediately south of the U.S. Coast Guard Station facility. Constructed in 2007, Sunset Park has evolved into a great venue for special events of all sizes and varieties. Free music, Shakespeare plays, movie nights and other events are on the 2015 schedule. And it’s all free! This spot was the original location of the railroad bridge entering Ocean City from Old Bridge Road in West Ocean City. This railroad bridge was destroyed by the 1933 storm that hit Ocean City. However, the new park is designed with railroad style features including the design of the restroom building, trellis, and the bricks located on the perimeter of the park that are from the original train station once located along S. Philadelphia Avenue. This linear park contains a lighted entertainment stage, restrooms, environmental plaques, nice landscaping and a short pier that provides fantastic views of the bay. Sunset Park is highlighted by a 60foot- tall tower that is lit at night and can be seen from the Route 50 bridge as well as other downtown locations.
Listeners take in a free concert at Sunset Park on South Division Street next to the Coast Guard station in downtown Ocean City.
For the past eight years, the Ocean City Development Corporation (OCDC) and the Town of Ocean City have partnered with various local nonprofit organizations to bring free music concerts to Sunset Park. These concerts will be performed on Thursday evenings from July 2 to Aug. 27 starting at 7 p.m.
Local nonprofit organizations join with OCDC to sponsor individual events and performances throughout the year. Sunset Park is a beautiful setting and can even be rented out for private uses such as weddings and the like. If interested in renting this space for a private event, contact the Town
of Ocean City’s Recreation and Parks Department at 410-250-0125. Make sure that you check out some of the special events at Sunset Park this summer. You can find more information on music events at www.ocdc.org or at www.ococean.com. You can also call the OCDC at 410-289-7739.

‘Dance of the Dolphins’ sculpture greets visitors The Ocean City Development Corporation has been involved in providing public art in the downtown area and throughout Ocean City. From sculptures, such as the White Marlin water feature at the Route 50 bridge entrance, to painted utility boxes and wall murals, the OCDC Public Art Committee has many successes. The newest addition to the OCDC’s Public Art Program has been unveiled. “Dance of the Dolphins,” is a majestic, bronze statue of three dolphins supported by a bronze wave that graces the southwest corner of Route 90 and Coastal Highway and greets visitors entering town via that entrance. The dedication of the statue was held on Tuesday, April 14, 2015 in recognition of National Dolphin Day. The 16-foot sculpture is another signature piece designed by sculptor David Turner of Turner Sculptures in Onley, Virginia. It will be centered in a beautiful, park-like setting designed by Becker Morgan Group Architects. “The Dance of the Dolphins” sculpture including the plaza will cost approximately $100,000. A campaign to raise funds to underwrite the costs of this newest addition to Ocean City’s Public Art is underway,” Trimper said. “We have 100 percent participation from our board and Public Art Committee, now we must turn to the community and visitors to help us reach our goal. As a nonprofit organization, OCDC must rely on the commitment and investment from residents and visitors to help underwrite the cost of these projects.” Honorary Chairs Michael and Marilyn James were present at the dedication to accept two major sponsorships at the Diamond Level
($10,000) from Hale and Alberta Harrison, and Kim Messick of Donoway/Bethany Resort Furnishings. The Brenner family joined this Diamond Level in June. Each of the donors has the opportunity to name one of the three dolphins and each will receive a numbered and dated replica of the statue, in addition to an engraved bronze plaque at the base of the sculpture. There are also other sponsorship opportunities. The Platinum Level of a $5,000 donation will give donors a numbered and dated replica of the statue and the donor’s name will be displayed on a bronze plaque on the brick wall in the “Dance of the Dolphins” Plaza. The Gold Level of a $2,500 donation will give donors a watercolor print of the Dolphin Statue and Plaza, and the Donor’s name will be displayed on a bronze plaque on the brick wall in “Dance of the Dolphins” Plaza. The Silver Level of a $1,000 donation will have the donor’s name displayed on a bronze plaque on the brick wall in the Plaza, and the donor’s name will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win a numbered and dated replica of the sculpture or the original watercolor print. A number of events and activities are planned for visitors to our beaches throughout the summer months to bring awareness to the “Dance of the Dolphins” Campaign and to provide educational resources about these endangered mammals. For more information, visit the website ocdolphins.com, the Facebook page OC “Dance of the Dolphins”, or contact OCDC at (410) 289-7739.
