Oaks Park Celebrates Valentine’s Weekend With Skate Date Package And Lover’s Lane Love Notes - 02/02/26

Oaks Park Celebrates Valentine’s Weekend with Skate Date Package and Lover’s Lane Love Notes

 

PORTLAND, Ore. (February 2, 2026) — Oaks Park invites couples to celebrate Valentine’s Day weekend with a nostalgic and playful twist through its Valentine’s Skate Date Package, available February 13 and 14, 2026, during the 7:00 to 10:30 p.m. Open Skate sessions. The limited-time offering combines classic roller skating, shared dining, and a festive romantic atmosphere in one of Portland’s most iconic destinations.

 

Designed for first dates, longtime partners, and everyone in between, the Skate Date Package sets the mood for a charming evening of retro romance on the rink. Couples can enjoy hand-in-hand skating during couples-only moments while soaking up the Valentine’s vibe under the lights of the historic Oaks Park Roller Skating Rink.

 

The $49.95 Skate Date Package for two includes:

  • Two Open Skate session admissions
  • Two standard skate rentals
  • Two Rick’s Cafe meal vouchers
  • Two drink tickets

For guests who prefer to skate without the full package, skating-only tickets are available for $13 per person. The Skate Date Package is available online only for a limited time at www.oakspark.com/valentine.

 

In addition to the rink-side romance, Oaks Park is offering couples and families a lasting way to mark the occasion through its Lover’s Lane Plaque Campaign. The campaign invites the community to commemorate meaningful relationships with a custom-engraved plaque permanently installed along Oaks Park’s beloved Lover’s Lane walkway, creating a “permanent love note” that supports the preservation of the historic park and its nationally recognized roller rink.

 

“Whether it’s a first date, a 50th anniversary, or a family tradition passed down through generations, Oaks Park has always been a place where love shows up in many forms,” said Emily MacKay, Oaks Park Marketing and Events Director. “These plaques let people leave a piece of their story in a place that has meant so much to so many for more than a century.”

 

For more than 100 years, Oaks Park has been a joyful, multi-generational destination where families gather, friends reconnect, and new love stories begin. This Valentine’s season, the park invites the community to celebrate both the moment and the memory, from skating hand-in-hand on the rink to leaving a lasting message along Lover’s Lane.

 

To participate, donors can visit www.oakspark.com/love to customize their message and complete a tax-deductible donation through Oaks Park’s secure online form.

Share the Love at Oaks Park with a Lover’s Lane Plaque This Valentine’s Day 

 

PORTLAND, Ore. (Jan. 8, 2026) -- From first dates and family traditions to decades-long love stories, Oaks Park has long been a place where love takes center stage. This Valentine’s Day, the historic Portland destination is inviting the community to celebrate those connections through its “Lover’s Lane Plaque Campaign,” offering a heartfelt way to turn special moments into lasting memories. 

 

The campaign allows couples, families, and friends to commemorate meaningful relationships with a custom-engraved plaque permanently installed along Oaks Park’s beloved Lover’s Lane walkway. Each plaque serves as a “permanent love note,” honoring a special bond while supporting the preservation of Oaks Park and its iconic roller skating rink, the oldest roller rink in the country. 

 

“Whether it’s a first date, a 50th anniversary, or a family tradition passed down through generations, Oaks Park has always been a place where love shows up in many forms,” said an Oaks Park representative. “These plaques let people leave a piece of their story in a place that has meant so much to so many for more than a century.” 

 

For Valentine’s Day 2026, plaques ordered by January 24, 2026, will be installed before February 14, making them a one-of-a-kind Valentine’s gift that lasts far beyond a single day. The timeline allows Oaks Park staff time to design and share a personalized proof, receive approval, and complete professional manufacturing and installation. 

 

If the January 24 deadline is missed, there is still plenty of time to participate. The Lover’s Lane Plaque Campaign is an ongoing initiative, with plaques available year-round and installed on a rolling basis, perfect for anniversaries, birthdays, milestones, or just because. 

 

To take part, donors can visit OaksPark.com/love to customize their message and complete a tax-deductible donation through Oaks Park’s secure online form. Once the design proof is approved, Oaks Park takes care of the rest. 

 

For more than 100 years, Oaks Park has been a joyful, multi-generational destination where families gather, friends reconnect, and new love stories begin. The Lover’s Lane Plaques reflect that spirit of fun, connection, and shared memories and invite the community to help keep it going for generations to come. 

 

Campaign Details: 

  • Order deadline for Valentine’s Day installation: January 24, 2026 

  • Guaranteed installation by: February 14, 2026 

  • Ongoing campaign: Plaques available year-round with rolling installation
