Ocean Park is an urbanized beachfront residential district with various upscale guest houses in the barrio of Santurce in San Juan, the capital municipality of Puerto Rico. Located about 0.50 to 6 miles (0.80 to 9.66 km) from the Old San Juan historic quarter, Condado and Isla Verde resort areas, Hato Rey business center, and SJU airport, it is centered around the western half of McLeary Avenue, extending east–west for about 0.85 miles (1.37 km) from the Parque to Las Marías residential areas. It is named after Parque Borinquén (Borinquén Park), a large park built on the beach, which was serviced by the "Parque" or "Park" tramway extension of the San Juan electric tramway from 1903 to 1946. It is one of the forty subbarrios of Santurce.
