## About

Operating continuously since 1905 on the banks of the Willamette River in Southeast Portland, Oaks Amusement Park Roller Rink features the largest and oldest roller skating floor in the United States, crafted from pristine hard rock maple. Every winter, families flock to this temperature-controlled indoor haven to glide across the shining floor to the rich chords of the live 1926 Wurlitzer pipe organ suspended above the center floor. Special weekday morning 'Preschool Play & Skate' sessions invite toddlers and youngsters under 6 to skate with trainer scooters, ride push toys, and play games on the smooth maple surface without older skaters.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: Direct ground-level access from the Oaks Park parking lot; strollers are permitted throughout the cavernous historic lobby and spectator bleachers.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Restrooms with changing tables; comfortable wooden bleachers and booth seating line the rink perimeter.
• Age Suitability: Preschool sessions tailored for ages 18 months to 6 years; open skate sessions welcome all ages from toddlers to grandparents.
• Sensory Tips: Live pipe organ music during organ sessions can be resonant; morning preschool sessions feature softer children's tunes and gentle ambient lighting.
