Playland Opens for Memorial Day Weekend

Playland Park kicked off the 2025 season over Memorial Day Weekend—Saturday, May 24 through Monday, May 26. Visitors enjoyed everything this Westchester County Parks landmark has to off er with free admission, rides and parking all three days from 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.

Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins said: “Opening this park in time for Memorial Day Weekend wasn’t easy. It took hustle. It took late nights, early mornings, and a team of County employees who refused to give anything less than 100 percent. From Public Works to Parks, from leadership to laborers — including contractors, vendors, the Westchester Children’s Museum, the New York State Department of Labor and even the Governor’s Office — this was truly an all-hands-on deck operation. And even though we’re not fully open yet, what you see here today is a $150 million investment in you, in our history, in our children and grandchildren. Playland, as it stands today, is a testament to what’s possible when people care deeply about this place and the families who come here. And let me tell you — we are just getting started.”

The park will continue to undergo repairs and upgrades, with some rides coming on line over the summer.
