Rye Town Park however, is a name that has been around a long time; certainly longer than I have. In 2009 the park celebrated it's 100th birthday, and continues to be one of the nicest town parks along this stretch of Long Island Sound. During our recent January thaw, I found her looking much like she did in an early 20th century postcard.

It is very picturesque!
i will have to visit it sometime!
I know what you mean about names.
Rye Town Park is kind of a funky name. But Oakland Beach sounds better. Though at first I thought you were talking about the crappy little beach in Warwick, RI with the same name!
I love that you visit these beach places in the winter.
Makes me feel like I should take a drive to the coast.
The building looks very modern to be 100 years old.
I posted a slide show of some beautiful water sceneries (I do it the best way I know, borrowing other people's words and using music). Come over when you get a chance.
OG,
That is known as Spanish Revival, which was popular around the turn of the 20th century.
Bethany,
I was under the impression you were near the coast. I can only imagine what else I have incorrectly assumed about you.;)
Whitemist,
It is a nice place. Easy to get to. Just south of Playland
