Get ready for a day of family fun, thrilling rides and heartfelt appreciation at the annual Armed Forces Day Celebration at Oaks Park.

Portland’s very own amusement park has been bringing joy to the young and young at heart since 1905. In fact, it is one of the oldest continually operating amusement parks in the country.

In addition to free carousel and train rides and inexpensive roller skating sessions, the attraction hosts special events throughout the season.

Here’s how you can show appreciation for the service member in your life and make memories at Oaks Park this weekend.

Taking place on Saturday, May 17 from 12–7 p.m., this special event honors the courage and dedication of our nation’s service members with a variety of exclusive perks and festivities.
