Oaks Park is a small amusement park located 3.5 miles (5.6 km) south of downtown Portland, Oregon, United States. The park opened in May 1905 and is one of the oldest continually operating amusement parks in the country.

The 44-acre (18 ha) park includes midway games, about two dozen rides that operate seasonally, a skating rink that is open all-year, and picnic grounds. It is also home to the Herschell–Spillman Noah's Ark Carousel, a historic wooden carousel constructed in 1912.

  • Great old style amusement park with a tree-covered picnic area for families. Carnival rides, putt-putt golf, and all the bad food you loved as a kid are there, too. Don't miss it!

  • Been coming here since I was a kid. So many memories here. Great little theme park. We went for Halloween. All the haunted were really cool. The 3rd haunted house was awesome with all your favorite horror movie characters. Very busy but all the lines went super quick. It was very well organized. If you're a Halloween fan you have to make a stop here and check it out
  • If you have children around 2-5 years of age, they will enjoy Oaks Amusement Park just as much as the older kids! A lot of great options for little little kids such as the carousel, the train, and a handful of rides made for that age group. It made my Momma heart happy. My three year old rode the carousel three times because he loved picking out different animals to ride. We went on a weekday afternoon so their were not many lines. My only suggestion is to bring drinks. Several of the vending machines for cold drinks were either out of order or out of stock. I always bring snacks anyway so we didn't explore the vending options and we did have our own water thankfully.
  • Oaks Amusement Park is a unique and amazing attraction in Portland. You can get a wristband and ride roller coasters, bumper cars, carousels, and other rides all day long. You can buy tickets and play carnival games, or do other activities such as roller skating at one of the few remaining rinks in the state. There are food vendors selling elephant ears, cotton candy, popcorn, food and drinks. Admission to the park is free, you just need to decide what you want to do and buy the appropriate band or tickets.
  • Nice wish they had a bowling space for people who like to be inside besides the rolling-skate center . It’s raining here at this time. Great for children who love to go on rides otherwise stay home. Food is good and no complaints just ran out fast.
  • Lovely little amusement park with one big coaster! Had a great time on all the rides and the roller rink! Also my first time having a snow cone which is just what a hot day called for. Great day out for all the family.
