Rye Town Park-Bathing Complex and Oakland Beach

The park spans 62.6 acres along the Long Island Sound, featuring a 1200-foot beach stretch, stone walls, terraces, bridges, and landscaped gardens.

Architects Upjohn & Conable designed the complex in 1909, incorporating six significant structures including the Bathing Pavilion and Spring House in Mission Revival style.

The park represents early 20th-century recreational architecture with Spanish Colonial elements, demonstrated through its pavilions, shelters, and 1910 restaurant building.

The beach enforces specific access regulations with different permit rates for residents and non-residents, covering both parking and beach entry throughout the seasons.

The park sits 15 feet above beach level, supported by a rubble stone foundation and retaining wall, with direct access to the adjacent Playland Amusement Park.
