Located in Rye, N.Y., Playland Ice Casino is the only Art Deco and government-owned amusement park in the U.S. In 1927, the Westchester County Park Commission purchased two theme parks to redevelop and hired Frank Darling, a well-known amusement park man, to design, construct, operate and manage Playland. With assistance from architectural firm Walker and Gillette and amusement park ride creator Frederick Church, the park opened in 1928 and features a Dragon Coaster, the park's mascot and most iconic attraction.
