Jamestown Residents! We need your help!
Please sign in support of bringing Ryan's Family Amusements to Jamestown!
Ryan's Family Amusements has a long-standing reputation for well-managed, clean, and respectful operations. Now, Ryan's wants to bring their services to our community!
Currently, under Jamestown's zoning regulations, the proposed location of 20 Narragansett Ave, does NOT include a family-friendly arcade as an allowable use, despite being in a commercial zone. We are requesting an amendment to the existing zoning USE table to allow an arcade in the Commercial Downtown district, in order to provide more recreational options for residents and visitors alike.
Ryan's will provide a fun, family-friendly entertainment option that is currently missing from our community. A family arcade in town will offer children, teens, and families a new activity option, creating a safe and fun environment for all ages.
Beyond entertainment, Ryan's Family Amusements will contribute economic benefits by attracting visitors, supporting local businesses, and creating jobs. Being centrally located in the Village, it will also increase foot traffic to nearby businesses, benefiting retail shops, restaurants, and local services. Additionally, the arcade will serve as a gathering space for parties and events, further enhancing the sense of community in Jamestown. The proposed location at 20 Narragansett Ave has more parking than any other business on Narragansett Avenue, ensuring convenient access for patrons.
Many neighboring towns have thriving arcades that serve as community hubs, and Jamestown deserves the same opportunity. This is about giving families, teens, and residents a much-needed recreational space while boosting our local economy.
We are seeking written support from residents to Town Councilors and encourage attendance at the public hearing on April 7, 2025. Your support is essential to help make this exciting addition to Jamestown a reality.
Sign in support today and let's bring Ryan's Family Amusements Arcade to Jamestown!

Updates
April 2, 2025
The town council continues to hide behind outdated zoning rules while our families are left with nothing to do. We are demanding they update the use table to stop blocking progress for the sake of petty bureaucracy.

20 narragansett is a great spot. hope the town board listens for once and stops making everything so complicated.
We need this! keeps the teens out of trouble and gives families a place to hang out. let's get it done.
Ryans is always clean and well run when we visit other towns. would be a huge upgrade for our downtown area.

Jamestown is so boring for kids. Nowhere to go after school. This would be perfect for the village.
