Rye Town Park

Click here for Beach Wheelchair Rental Information

The Rye Town Park, Bathing Complex and Oakland Beach, was designed in 1909 by architects Upjohn & Conable and landscape architects Brinley & Holbrook. It is situated on 28.1 acres of rolling terrain along the shore of the Long Island Sound.  The park is bounded to the north by Rye Beach Avenue, to the south by Dearborn Avenue, to the west by Forest Avenue and to the east by the publicly accessible 34.5 acre Oakland Beach, stretching 1200’ in length. Adjacent to the east is the beach area of Playland Amusement Park (National Historic Landmark). The boundaries of the park remain true to the original design and layout.

The park sits approximately 15 feet above the beach level, grounded securely by a rubble stone foundation/retaining wall on the eastern side. Character defining landscape features of the park include stone walls, a terrace overlook, a stone bridge, light fixtures, staircases and ramps, pathways, trees, plantings, lawns, a small lake and Oakland Beach. There are 17 structures within the park. Of these, six are historically significant and contribute to the architectural integrity of the site and are exemplary of a recreation facility designed at the turn of the 20th century. This cohesive collection of buildings, designed in the Spanish Mission Style, define the character and identity of the recreational Bathing Complex.
