Rockland Park HOA Rules

The Rockland Park Homeowners Association (RPHOA) will strive to enhance the enjoyment of members’ lives and promote community spirit by offering amenities, facilities and programs for members’ benefits in a fiscally responsible manner.  

The RPHOA amenities are for the exclusive use of the Members of the RPHOA and their guest(s). Until the community has reached a self-sustainable level, this rule will be relaxed to allow outside residents to register for programs and rent space in the Lodge (not in the park). A non-resident fee will be added to the cost of any registered programs and facility rentals.  

At the RPHOA, we uphold a standard or mutual respect among all residents and guest(s). Any disrespectful behavior towards fellow residents, staff, or property will not be tolerated and may result in disciplinary action. 

All members and guests are permitted the use of the HOA facility and park Amenities at their own risk and subject to the following rules and regulations. 

  • Annual fees are not optional and due April 1 of every year. 
  • A “Member” is defined in the Articles of Association of the RPHOA.  
  • Members must present their membership card to gain entrance to the park and facility.  
  • Members accessing the RPHOA amenities must carry their membership card at all times and present it for inspection upon request of the RPHOA staff. 
  • Membership cards are not transferable. 
  • Lending your membership card to another person is prohibited and will result in a temporary suspension of membership privileges as determined by RPHOA. 
  • Members with unpaid fees as of May 15 will be denied access to the RPHOA facility and park.

  • Members must reside in the Rockland Park home to be eligible for a membership card. All members must provide proof of residency in order to obtain a card. 
  • Renters (entire house) – the homeowner may transfer their privileges to the renters. Owners or renters (not both) may have park/facility access. If the owners wish to transfer their privileges to the renters, a Transfer of Privileges form must be completed and returned to RPHOA office. If owners would like communication from the RPHOA (invoices, AGM notices, etc.) sent to a different address, please inform the RPHOA office. 
  • Renters (secondary suite(s)) – residents in one (1) suite of the home may have access to the RPHOA park/facility. If additional suite(s) in the home would like access to the RPHOA park/facility, the homeowner may purchase access for renters in the additional suite(s).
