MUSIC TOWER AT PLAYLAND DAMAGED DUE TO HIGH WINDS

Area behind the Music Tower is closed.

Due to high winds overnight, the Music Tower at Playland has sustained external damage. Sections of stucco and underlying foam detached, and the area behind the structure has been closed to cars and pedestrians as a precautionary measure until a full assessment can take place. Clean up of the area is  underway.

The Music Tower was built in 1928 as part of the park’s original construction and was most recently restored nearly 20 years ago.

Access to Edith G. Read Wildlife Sanctuary remains available by parking in the Playland lot and walking via the boardwalk past the Ice Casino to the seaside walk and north boardwalk.
