The "Oaks"







One of the oldest continually running amusements parks in the United States. Is located in Portland. It is named "The Oaks" and originally opened in 1905. The 44 acres of land is located right on the Willamette River, 3.5 miles from downtown. This historic amusement park is designed to amuse little kids. However the park still features a 100 year old roller rink. Which I wished I would have tried. The rink still has it's original Wurlitzer Organ. Which I'm sure is quite rare. Also the park features a historic dance hall. This place brings back popular memories of "Crystal beach amusement park for me.
