The aerodrome was officially decommissioned and removed from the Canada Water Aerodrome Supplement (WAS) effective 26 May 2016.
The aerodrome was closed at the request of the private operator. This is a common reason for the closure of small, privately-operated aerodromes in Canada and typically indicates that the owner has ceased aviation operations, sold the associated property, or no longer wishes to maintain the official registration with Transport Canada. There is no public record of the closure being due to a specific accident, environmental concern, or major economic reason.
The site of the former aerodrome is the body of water itself, Ocean Pond. Since the aerodrome's decommissioning, the specific landing area is no longer officially registered or charted for aviation use. The pond remains a heavily used public and private recreational area for boating, fishing, swimming, and cottaging. The physical location is unchanged, but it no longer holds any official status as an aerodrome.
Ocean Pond Water Aerodrome was a registered water landing site primarily serving private and recreational aviation. Its main purpose was to provide a designated, charted landing area for floatplanes on Ocean Pond, a popular cottage and recreational area. Operations were minimal and consisted almost exclusively of private aircraft accessing cottages or engaging in recreational flying. It was never a commercial hub and held no strategic or significant historical importance beyond its utility to local floatplane owners.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the Ocean Pond Water Aerodrome. For it to be reinstated, a new operator would need to submit a proposal to Transport Canada and agree to manage the site according to federal regulations. Given its previous status as a small, private-use facility, a reopening is considered highly unlikely unless a new commercial or private entity establishes a need for a registered water aerodrome at that location.
