Westchester County Seeks Restaurant Operator At Playland

RYE, NY — Westchester County is asking experienced restaurateurs and food concessionaires to submit a proposal to operate a high-quality, full-service restaurant and daily boat docking operation on the boardwalk at Playland Park in Rye. Playland is owned by the county.

A pre-proposal meeting will be held at 10 a.m. Wednesday at Playland Park. Attendance is required in order for an entity to submit a proposal.

The restaurant lies adjacent to the park’s ice skating center, according to a spokesperson. The business will be open to the general public as well as to those visiting many other in-park and seasonal amenities including the 50-ride amusement park, mini-golf course, a beach and pool, the Westchester Children’s Museum, Playland Ice skating center and the Edith G. Read Wildlife Sanctuary.

The restaurant must be open during the hours and days the amusement park is open, officials said.

The successful proposer will operate the daily boat parking service using the service dock, ramp and moorings located off the park’s boardwalk pier and operate a boat shuttle from the moorings to a floating dock and provide staff at location for all hours of operation.

The terms of the agreement will be five years, with the sole option of Westchester County to extend the license for an additional period of five years.

Proposals are due by 5 p.m. Friday, Nov. 22 in the office of Frank Carrieri, general manager in the park’s Administration Building. Find the RFP at this website.
