I've been to this park twice, and both have been great. Best park in Oregon, by far. It's VERY affordable ($14.95 for an unlimited ride bracelet AND one roller skating session) Free admission and free...

Oaks Amusement Park is a great place for the younger kids, has a lot of rides but nothing too extreme. First went here for my dad's company picnic, seems to be a popular place for that.

My company picnic was help at Oaks Park and it was a great location for it. They had a tent set up for us. The food was good. Parking was convenient. They have rides that appeal to all ages.

This is a great place for a company picnic. There are decent rides, the skating rink and a nice area for the picnic (they pitch a tent and do a good job with set-up).

It has all the rides I remember from carnivals growing up. The kids love it, and always have so much fun. They have at least a few rides that adults can enjoy too. Plus it's cheap!
