About Oaks Park
Oaks Park has been “where the fun never ends” since 1905 and is among America’s oldest continually operating amusement parks. “The Oaks” first opened its gates to eager visitors on May 30, 1905. Today, when visitors walk through the gates, they are delighted by a uniquely Portland blend of modern thrills and turn-of-the-century charm on a midway that has delighted generations of Northwesterners.
