Rye Town
Park, located in the City of Rye, New York, is a wonderful facility for public
recreation and relaxation. The park has a long history as a recreational outlet
for the community, dating back to the 1860's when the area was known as Oakland
Beach.
It was
established as Rye Town Park in 1907 by an act of the New York Legislature. The
main buildings were completed in 1909. The sixty-two acre preserve has 28 acres
of lawns and paths with mature plantings, gently rolling hills, benches, a
naturalized duck pond, and expansive beachfront of 34 acres.
Admission
to the beach is open to everyone.
