The celebration began with a ribbon-cutting ceremony of the historic Grand Carousel and Derby Racer, where the horses are finally riding again. Joyful children hopped onto the completely restored historic wooden horses, and joined Westchester County Executive George Latimer for the first ride on the Grand Carousel at Playland Park in four years. Since I came into office we have worked hard to restore the ride to its original splendor, and this is another example of motivated County government at work.
The employees at Playland have done a fantastic job readying the park for the season, and I look forward to hearing the roar of the Dragon Coaster coupled with laughter under the warm sunshine this summer. The year-old Mangels-Carmel carousel, originally built for an amusement park in Connecticut, has been a staple at Playland Park since it opened in After over a year of closure due to the pandemic, Playland Park in Rye is once again welcoming visitors.
Beginning Saturday, the amusement park known for its Dragon Coaster, Dragonator and The Plunge, will be open for the summer season. For opening weekend, the hours are noon to 10 p. Saturday and noon to 9 p. Not only is the park reopening, but its year-old Grand Carousel, which was damaged by a fire in , will also be back in service after four years.
The restoration of that carousel is a symbol of our commitment to the tradition of this park. The park's Derby Racer, one of three steeple chase rides still in existence, was also restored. Entertainment: Beaches and some pools in Rockland, Westchester open. Music: Free concerts return to Westchester, Rockland counties. Beginning Saturday, and continuing every Saturday until closing, the Playland DJ will play music on the beach from noon to 4 p.
