Davis Park Association – 2025 Membership

January 2025 – Greetings, On behalf of the Davis Park Association, we hope you had a wonderful holiday season and we extend our best wishes for a healthy and prosperous 2025!

We want to take this opportunity to remind you of the importance of your DPA membership. Having the support of avid beach lovers, like yourselves, assists us in making our little slice of paradise better each year. Whether this is your first season joining the DPA or you’re a long-time participant, we are extremely grateful for your commitment to the community. We are also proud that over the past decade, we have opened DPA membership to our renters, boaters and other friends.

Many of us got our first taste of Davis Park renting or boating here, and the DPA welcomes in anyone who loves Davis Park.

Here are just some of the things your DPA directors and volunteers do:

• First, we collaborate with Federal, State, County and Town government, as well as the Fire Island Association and our other beach communities. Notably, this past year saw the group mobilize to address devastating beach erosion, spearheading the emergency Trapbag Project and now the fantastic FIMI Emergency Repair of our dune and berm! As always, the DPA will be installing sand fencing to protect the new project, working with the Town and our Erosion Control District. We will also be working with FINS on bayside erosion control efforts.
• Next, we manage and maintain our infrastructure and services, from trash and recycle cans, benches, outdoor ashtrays, signage and doggie bag stations to our great new glass recycling program.
• With our other community organizations, Friends of Davis Park and CRAB, we cut the ribbon on our new Playground and will help to improve it each year.
• With CRAB and the help of a budget from the Town, we clean up, plant and beautify our community at the Marina, along Trustees Walk, in the park area and now in our new Community Herb Garden. We also organize beach and bayside cleanup events to care for our beaches and remove storm debris.
• We support our local commercial interests and work with them to enhance services for our community, liaising with the Davis Park Ferry, Brownie Companies, the Harbor Store and our wonderful Casino Café, CasBar and Post Office!
• With the Davis Park Fire Department, we sponsor a lively Fourth of July Parade and party. We keep you up-to-date with our frequent emails and posts, provide a community phone list and event calendar, maintain an informative Website and Facebook page, run the Swap & Shop and welcome the community to our Spring and Fall Meetings with refreshments, door prizes and an opportunity to mingle with friends and neighbors. We thank and support Father Frank and Sister Grace who open the Church to the community.
• Finally, we would be remiss not to emphasize our excellent relations with the Town and our close working relationship with Councilman Neil Foley and others who have devoted so much time and energy to improving Davis Park, from the erosion control projects to rebuilding the Marina bathrooms, wagon racks and installing our lovely pergola, to name just a few recent endeavors. Shout out to Supervisor Dan Panico, Parks Commissioner Ed Morris and Deputy Lucy Murphy, Highway Superintendent Dan LoSquadro, Chief Deputy Commissioner Michelle DiBrita (ECD) and Commissioner Christine Fetten (Recycling).

As we prepare for our upcoming season together, we want to emphasize again how vital your support of the DPA is to our continuing efforts to better the quality of life in the Davis Park Community. We thank you in advance for your membership and look forward to working together for an even better Davis Park!
