About Oaks Amusement Park

Oaks Park is a small amusement park south of downtown Portland, Oregon. It opened in 1905 and is described as one of the oldest continually operating amusement parks in the country. The park includes a well-known roller rink open year-round, seasonal rides and mini golf, and a historic Dance Pavilion used for events. Its carousel is run as a free-to-ride attraction, supported in part by donations. The park is operated by a non-profit association.
