Residents at Commission Meeting Opposed to Privatizing Rye Town Park

The notion of privatizing Rye Town Park was overwhelmingly opposed by members of the public who spoke Saturday during an open forum.

Improvements to the facility are needed, and town officials said the park has routinely lost money, leading them to ask for bids from outside operators, lohud.com’s Christopher J. Eberhart reported.

The Rye Town Park Commission received five proposals.

Turning the park profitable and keeping it open year-round are some of the goals, town officials said.
