Rocky Point's 155-year run came to an end last month, when one of its major creditors, Moneta Capital Corp. of Providence, said it would turn it into a housing development.
Thousands are expected to attend the auction. For $10, visitors will receive a color brochure showing the items for sale.
The park's rides and games will be auctioned the first day, with everything else going the second day.
Mr. Satow has received inquiries about the Rocky Point amusement rides from all over the world.
The city and representatives of the park's owners are discussing the future of the Rocky Point property. The owners have talked of seeking a zoning change to allow them to develop as many as 447 condominium units on the 126-acre site.
The city's goal is to preserve the park's shoreline as a park, Mayor Lincoln Chafee said. He will seek a deal to exchange a strip of coastline for a zoning change to allow more development than permitted.
