  In the early operation of the park,the main sources of income for the park were the ticket prices and the funding from the Jockey Club.Since the ticket price was low,most of the time OceanPark was operating under deficit.In 1 July 1 987,the government established a 200 million trust from the funding of Jockey Club,under the Ocean Park Corporation Ordinance.This separated Ocean Park from Jockey Club and became a non-profit organization;it needs to be responsible for its own income and was allowed to use commercial means to operate the park.
