Following repairs to tower's exterior and bathhouse building, park applies for grant to restore the Oakland Beach landmark built in 1910.

In Save the Sound's latest Beach Grades, only nine of the 19 Long Island Sound beaches in Westchester had consistently clean water last summer.

Re-stuccoing of 1910 tower is one of a series of new projects underwritten by the Friends of Rye Town Park, which raised $450,000 last spring.

State-funded overhaul of one of Rye’s most prominent public spaces will include four new showers and walkway.

Outdoor showers are fenced-off because of a crumbling wall. The Rye Town Park interiors of the bathhouse need repairs. Its upper floors closed off.

The Rye beaches were closed until further notice by the health department — the latest victims of water contamination.

The Rye Town Park Commission decided on Tuesday to allow the beach to remain open for residents on July 4 until the fireworks have ended.

Pride month began in Rye with a host of events through the weekend.
