The event has been scheduled around noon time. Everyone who is interested may wish to attend and ask our so called Civic Leaders why this Bridgegate situation had to ever occur? Were they sleeping during the past few years, while officials were planning to replace our City Island bridge?

With the boardwalk complete and the grounds spruced up, Rye Playland is set to open on 5/10.
For the first few days, unlimited rides will cost $15, and tickets go on sale at 10:30 a.m. The rain date for opening day is one week later on May 17.
