Per order of Governor Justice

Groups in the park are limited to 25. The 25-person limitation applies only to purely social gatherings. 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. :(

We've been asked about the basketball goals. The mounting hardware and bolts were all rusted so we are getting new hardware for them. They should be back up sometime this week. :)
