Opened in 1905 to compete with the Lewis and Clark Exposition. Decidedly old-fashioned family-type attractions: an ice rink with a Wurlitzer organ, a dance hall, a carousel, a non-electronic arcade, and 28 attractions. Children's plays at the Ladybug Theater. In fine weather, an open-air electric train, the "Samtrak," links the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry and Oaks Park. A trail leads into the swamps of the Oaks Bottom Natural Refuge located to the east.
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 continuously operating amusement parks in the country.
