Oaks Amusement Park, Amusement park in Southeast Portland, United States

Oaks Amusement Park is a 44-acre amusement park in Southeast Portland, Oregon, with about two dozen seasonal rides, midway games, picnic grounds and a 100 by 200 feet wooden roller skating rink open year-round. Its entrance is a white wooden archway with a gabled top beam reading "OAKS AMUSEMENT PARK · EST. 1905", flanked by two soldier figures in red hats and jackets with white cross straps, and topped by yellow, pink and blue flags.

The park opened in May 1905 alongside the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition, drawing 300,000 visitors during its first season. The Vanport flood of 1948 submerged the grounds for thirty days, prompting construction changes afterward.

The rink's Wurlitzer organ, a four-manual model installed in 1926 at Portland's Broadway Theatre, moved here in 1955. Its pipework hangs on a platform above the skate floor, so skaters roll beneath the sound. Organ music has accompanied skating at Oaks Park for most of the rink's history.

The park sits roughly 3.5 miles (5.6 kilometers) from downtown Portland and is reachable by car or public transport. Opening hours vary by season, with weekdays typically running from noon until early evening.

After the Vanport flood in 1948, workers rebuilt the rink floor on airtight iron barrels so it would float during future floods. This engineering solution allows the park to minimize damage during high water events.
