Membership Renewal & Schedule of charges

All Park memberships are renewed annually beginning April 1st. When renewal season approaches, you will receive an email with an invoice prompting you to renew and pay. You have until April 30th to renew your membership without any penalties. If you choose to renew after April 30th, a $50 fee is due on top of membership dues. After July 1st, any unpaid memberships will be terminated. If you have an open invoice, you will see a floating notification telling you what you owe when you log into the Member portal. If you choose to cancel your membership mid-year, there is no refund of Park dues for that year. 

You can change or update your membership within our Member portal.

Governance & Decision Making

The executive board consists of elected officers (President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer) who serve one-year terms, and an appointed Park Manager. The full board also includes a Home Owners Representative and three Representatives from each member zone, who serve three-year terms. See the current board here. Any Park member can run for elected board positions; board elections happen at the December general membership meeting.

Community

Sunnyside Gardens Park is a volunteer-run community association and park; volunteerism fosters our sense of community and is part of what makes our Park special.

• CLASS II: 2 adults, no children or single parent with one child - 12 volunteer hours per year
• CLASS III: 2 adults w/ children or single parent w/ 2+ children - 12 volunteer hours per year
