​Playland To Open For 2 Extra Weekends

RYE, NY — On the heels of a successful summer season, County Executive George Latimer has announced two bonus weekends at Playland: Sept. 21 and 22 and Sept. 28 and 29, 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. each day. These four weekend days will feature $15 ride admission for all visitors, and no spectator fees will be in effect.

The parking fee will be $10 per car, which is a discount from summer park prices.

Latimer said that it’s been a fantastic summer with great energy and excitement at Playland.

"And so for the first time in more than a decade Westchester residents and visitors to our county will get bonus time at the park this year. We’re very happy to let the fun continue just a little longer,” he said.

Park-goers will be able to experience the park’s rides and attractions, including the new Dragonator ride, which premiered at the park this summer while also enjoying some classic autumnal activities on mall next to Kiddyland which will be decorated with corn stalks and hay bales.

Activities include a DJ, fall themed face painting and first-come, first-served pumpkin picking and painting — while supplies last.

Also, visitors should be on the lookout as some of the characters from Playland’s new Halloween attraction coming in October — Hudson Horrors on the Sound — will be patrolling the park.

Playland Park is located on Playland Parkway in Rye, exit 19 off I-95.
