About this adventure

Oaks Park's historic roller rink in Sellwood throws an all-ages New Year's Eve party that runs from 7 p.m. until 1 a.m., so families can skate in the new year together under the rink's lights. A live DJ keeps the music going, with skate specials, party favors and a countdown to midnight, and admission includes standard skate rental. Grown-ups 21 and older can add a champagne toast at midnight, and non-alcoholic toast options are available. Every person entering the building needs a ticket: skating tickets for anyone on wheels, and spectator tickets only for non-skating guests 18 and older who come with a skater. Ticket quantities are limited, all purchases are non-refundable, and every skater needs a signed waiver (a parent or guardian completes it for minors). Families with younger kids may want to skate the early hours and head home before midnight. Parking is paid separately at card-only meters.
