Rye Town Park Season Permits On Sale Starting May 6

Rye Town Park wants “Town and City of Rye” residents (for who that is, see below) to “come on down” this summer. In particular, the Commissioners want residents to buy season permits and take full advantage of the beautiful park at Oakland Beach. So they’re offering “high tide” benefits for a “low tide” cost.

They’ve held the line on prices - no increases.

For a family of two adults and all children under eighteen a season permit is only $150. That’s good from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend. Individual adult permits are only $110. Parking for permit holders is deeply discounted, compared to those without permits. These discounts include the daytime beach season from Memorial Day to Labor Day weekends, as well as the pre- and post-season periods. Senior permits (62+) are $20 and include free parking. Platinum family permits also include free parking. Parking only permits are $150.

They can be purchased at the park starting May 6th. Seniors who have passes dated on and before 2010 DO NOT have to renew their passes. Beach access is free for all permit holders! The more permit holders go to the beach, the more they’ll save. With gas prices reaching new heights, Rye Town Park is even more of a “stay-cation” bargain!

To make sure all residents got the news, the Commissioners are doing a 23,000-piece mailing to all “Town and City of Rye” households in Rye City and Rye Town (which includes Rye Brook, Rye Neck and Port Chester). The letter includes a detailed description of the season permit benefits, along with a permit application form to speed the permit process along. Letters should be arriving in mid April.

People can mail the completed forms back, with payment by check or providing credit card information. Or, they can bring them to the Park permit office, which will be open Wednesdays through Sundays, starting May 6th, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Credit card payments will be accepted for season permits. The park will accept MasterCard, Visa and Discover. Also Check or Money Order Payable to “Rye Town Park”. New permit holders will have to provide a proof of residence. And they’ll have to stop by the park’s permit office in the “towers” building to get photo ID cards.

For further information and details, call the park starting April 20th at 914 967-0965. Information is also available on the Park’s web site: www.ryetownpark.org
