Help Us Find the Potholes and Stormwater Drains

Put on your walking shoes and join the fun. We’re launching a community‑wide treasure hunt to locate potholes and stormwater drains that need attention. Every “find” helps improve safety and supports our partnership with Tillamook County Public Works.

Contest Rules

  • Each verified pothole or stormwater drain report earns 1 ticket.
  • Size doesn’t matter—every pothole counts.
  • Credit goes to the first person to report each location.
  • Your total number of verified finds equals your total number of tickets.
  • All tickets will be placed into a drawing at the next OAP community event.

Prizes

  • 10 winning tickets will be drawn.
  • Participants can win multiple prizes.
  • Prizes include OAP sweatshirts, T‑shirts, and posters.
  • Grand Prize will be awarded to the participant with the most verified finds.

Safety First

Please be safe and responsible when exploring and photographing. Follow general safety guidelines at all times—stay aware of traffic, weather, and your surroundings.

Contest Deadline

The treasure hunt officially ends at midnight on April 30, 2026.

What Happens Next

The OAP Roads/Parking Team will use the completed maps in partnership with Tillamook County Public Works. The County will train our volunteers in pothole analysis and repair techniques and provide materials. Our volunteers will supply the labor—another example of Oceanside neighbors working together.
