News Release

Free Rides At Oaks Park For Active Military And Their Families, May 16 - 05/13/26

PORTLAND, Ore. (May 16, 2026) – In honor of Armed Forces Appreciation Day, Oaks Park is proud to say thank you to those who serve by giving them and their families free rides on Saturday, May 16. Active duty, deployed, and reservist military personnel can enjoy a day of fun with their loved ones on us!

 

“Oaks Park has been a place for families to have fun together for generations,” said Emily MacKay, Oaks Park’s Marketing and Events Director. “Active members of the military may have to be away from family for long periods of time, and we want to help them make the most of their time together.”


Active military and their immediate families (significant other and children under 18 living at home) receive FREE Ride Wristbands as our small way of showing big gratitude for their service and sacrifice. Ride Wristbands at Oaks Park provide access to all 24 rides, from the Tree Top Drop and the Zoom Coaster to the Frog Hopper, Adrenaline Peak, AtmosFEAR and more (access to rides is subject to height/safety limits). 

 

Plus, at 2 PM, we'll have cake and red, white, and blue balloons for all visitors (while supplies last).

 

Beyond the thrill rides, Oaks Park is packed with other ways to enjoy and celebrate time together. The park is home to a historic carousel, the oldest roller rink in the United States, scenic picnic areas, carnival games and classic amusement park food and drinks. There’s also the park’s miniature golf course with views of the Willamette River and the timeless Oaks Park train. 

 

Guest must present a current military ID at the Ticket Booth to receive free wristbands when they arrive at the Oaks Park ticket booth. The offer is only available onsite, not through the online ticketing platform.
