The opening of Playland amusement park for the 2025 season is in limbo following the departure of its former management, Standard Amusements. Westchester officials, while aiming to make the park accessible, have indicated limited rides and attractions. Taxpayers face a substantial payout to the former operator, with Legislator Catherine Parker emphasizing the uncertainty over what will be available, especially regarding the amusement section. County Executive Ken Jenkins highlights the park's cultural significance and urges community support while a clearer plan awaits.
"Playland is more than just a park, it's a cherished treasure, the crown jewel of Westchester County. A place where memories are made and community thrives."
"Our intention is to get as much of the park open and accessible to the public as possible; I don't know if it's going to be Kiddie Land or what it's going to look like."
