RYE, NY (May 6, 2025) — Playland Park is gearing up for its summer season by hosting a series of job fairs on May 10, May 17, and June 7, offering opportunities for a variety of roles including park management, ride operators, ride attendants, lifeguards, cashiers, custodial staff, and painters. The job fairs will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., with the May 10 and June 7 events held at the Westchester County Center’s Exhibition Hall in White Plains and the May 17 event at Playland Park in Rye.
Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins highlighted the significance of the park as a first job for many residents. “Many Westchester County residents’ first jobs are at Playland Park. It’s a very special place in Westchester where memories are made, and by working at the park, employees get to share in the joy of those making memories, and help create them,” Jenkins said. He encouraged both new and returning workers to join the team for the summer season.
Kathy O’Connor, Commissioner of the Westchester County Department of Parks, Recreation and Conservation, emphasized the value of the job fairs for career development.
“The job fairs that are being offered are a great way for potential employees to learn more about the inner-workings of the park while having the opportunity to kick-start or advance in their careers,” O’Connor said.

For those opting for Westchester County Payroll Direct Deposit, a blank voided check or a bank-issued Direct Deposit Set Up Form with routing and account numbers is necessary. The starting salary for positions is $16.60 per hour.
