An Oaks Park First: Season Passes That Offer Nonstop Fun All Season Long

PORTLAND, Ore. (March 16, 2026) – For the first time ever, Oaks Park is offering season passes to the general public, so park visitors can enjoy all the fun of Oregon’s favorite amusement park anytime throughout the 2026 season. The new passes offer unlimited rides all season long as well as exclusive savings and special offers.

“For years, fans of Oaks Park have told us that they’d love to have a season pass for making multiple trips to the park throughout the season,” said Emily MacKay, Oaks Park’s Marketing and Events Director. “This year, we’re making it happen so folks can drop by whenever the mood for fun strikes, whether it’s a quick afternoon ride break, an evening on the midway, or a full day of thrills.”

Available in limited quantities now, Oaks Park Season Passes include unlimited rides every standard operating day of the 2026 season. They cover the nearly 24 rides at Oaks Park, from the Tree Top Drop and the Zoom Coaster to the classic Oaks Park Train, the Frog Hopper, Adrenaline Peak and AtmosFEAR. 

The new passes also offer 10% off food and beverages in the park, 10% off purchases in the gift shop and exclusive special offers throughout the year. In addition, a season pass includes admission to Oaks Park’s famed Oktoberfest celebration.

The new Oaks Park Season Passes are available in two different height categories: 48” & Taller and Under 48”. The 48” & Taller Season Pass is $139.45; the Under 48” Season Pass is $74.45. The passes are available on the Oaks Park website.

Oaks Park will kick off the 2026 season the week of Oregon Spring Break, March 21-29. After that, the park is open weekends in April and May, followed by regular summer hours from June through Labor Day weekend and weekends in September.

The hiring fair marks the first opportunity to apply for positions for the 2026 season, giving attendees a head start before most jobs open to the general public.

• Game Operations
• Customer Service
• Roller Rink
• Custodial & Maintenance
• Events
• And more

Some roles may begin as early as March.

The park prides itself on offering a supportive and energetic work environment where employees can build valuable job skills, customer service experience, and lifelong friendships.

This year’s hiring fair also comes at an exciting time for the historic amusement park. Oaks Park is actively advancing its 20-Year Master Plan, a long-term vision focused on thoughtful growth, infrastructure improvements, and enhanced guest experiences while preserving the park’s historic charm. As the organization invests in its future, it is also investing in the next generation of workers who will help bring that vision to life.

“Growth at Oaks Park isn’t just about new attractions and improvements, it’s about growing our team and creating opportunities for young people in our community,” said Emily MacKay, Oaks Park’s Marketing and Events Director. “For more than 120 years, Oaks Park has been a place where Portlanders create memories. Many of those memories begin with a first job here.”

Parking is free during the event. For added convenience, a designated parents’ waiting area will be available with complimentary snacks and beverages.

Oaks Park encourages applicants to come prepared to learn about open positions and participate in interviews.
