To reserve a picnic shelter or the amphitheater, call Oceana City Hall and tell the clerk what day and time you would like and which shelter.

There is no charge, but we do ask you clean up the area when done and remove any staples you may have used for putting up decorations.

It does not apply to any activity, business, or entity that has been deemed essential, such as religious services, weddings, or group meetings, conferences, or other special events held for essential businesses and operations, as defined by Executive Order 9-20, as amended.

This order does not apply to Gilliland Park Pool, as public pools were exempted by Governor Justice.

It is with great sadness we inform everyone that Coach Gene Gilliland passed away this morning. (Jun. 12)

Gene Gilliland, better known as Coach, was a veteran having served in the Marines during World War II. Coach went on to teach chemistry, physics, and math for 33 years at Oceana High School along with coaching 9th grade basketball, football, and track.

During the summers, he managed the town park and pool in Oceana, WV, up until he broke his leg at the age of 90. For his decades of service to the park and pool, they were renamed by the city council Gilliland Park and Gilliland Park Pool in his honor.

Our condolences to his family and friends. Sure will miss you coach. :(
