Oaks Park has a long standing tradition of hosting 4th of July fireworks, and 2009 is no different. The Pepsi Fireworks Spectacular celebration will be chalked full of cotton candy, thrill rides, and carnival games.
Hidden under the Sellwood Bridge along the Willamette River, Oaks Amusement Park, named after the very trees that can be found on the property, opened in 1905 as a trolley park. Visitors to Oregon who arrived on foot, horseback, or in early cars would stop at Oaks Park to get on trolley cars that ran on the Portland-to-Oregon-City tracks. They also enjoyed rides, roller skating, and Punch and Judy shows.
Gates for this event open at noon, and picnic spaces are first come first serve, so get there early. You can’t bring alcohol or fireworks to this event, but you can bring food, non-alcoholic beverages, and an appetite for adrenalin.
The cost for this event is $4.00 to get in the gate if you’re sixteen or over, and $2.50 for kiddos fifteen and under.
Ride bracelets are $11.75 for limited bracelets, and $14.50 for a Deluxe that gets you on to everything, although height restrictions do apply, so if kiddos aren’t tall enough, they won’t be allowed on the “scary” rides even with a bracelet.
If you don’t want to spend the whole day spinning up-side-down, ride tickets can also be purchased.
The fireworks begin at 9:55 p.m., and ride bracelets expire at midnight.
Oaks Amusement Park can be found at 7805 S.E. Oaks Park Way, Portland, Oregon, 97202. For more information, you can call them at 503-233-5777, or find them on the web at www.oakspark.com.
Stay safe, and have a great 4th of July!
Trust me, you’re gonna’ love it!
