News Release

Roller Skating And Dads Take Center Stage At Oaks Park June 20-21 - 06/15/26

Oaks Park will be extra festive the weekend of June 20-21 with special celebrations planned to honor dads on Father’s Day and the birthday of the oldest roller-skating rink in the entire United States. 

 

“Every day at Oaks Park is a celebration of fun, families and just fantastic times,” said Emily MacKay, Oaks Park’s marketing and events director. “This weekend, we’ll have even more fun with a 120th birthday party for our beloved roller rink and free Ride Wristbands for dads on Father’s Day. Fans of Oaks Park are not going to want to miss this.”

 

Officially opened on June 23, 1906, Oaks Park’s storied roller rink is the oldest in the country and the only one in the world to still feature a live pipe organist during select skating sessions. To celebrate the 120th anniversary of one of the park’s most treasured attractions, Oaks Park is throwing a birthday celebration for the rink from 7 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. Saturday, June 20. The party will include free birthday cake and party hats, a live DJ, classic skate games and photos with the Oaks Park mascot, Chipper the Squirrel. Admission to the rink is $13 per skater, but a limited number of discounted tickets for the party – two skaters for just $19.06! – are available online in advance.

 

In addition, the roller rink celebration will include the unveiling of a new entry mural designed by local artist Nick Lee and funded in part by the Regional Arts & Culture Council and the Arts Access Fund. Members of the Royal Rosarians will be in attendance for a meet-and-greet and to take photos at the new mural when the doors open at 7 p.m. 

 

The next day, Sunday, June 21, Oaks Park will honor fathers from all over on Father’s Day with a special Ride Wristband deal. Dads who purchase a wristband for their child on Father’s Day will receive a free Ride Wristband, good for unlimited rides all day long at Oaks Park. The deal will only be available at the Oaks Park ticket booth on Father’s Day.

 

Oaks Park, which has been providing family fun on the banks of the Willamette River since 1905, has a whole calendar of special events planned throughout its 2026 season. For more information about all of them, visit Oakspark.com.
