The Oaks Amusement Park is the last of the historic "trolley parks" still in operation on the West Coast and among the oldest continually operating amusement parks in America. "The Oaks" first opened its gates to eager visitors on May 30th, 1905, as a way of boosting ridership on the area's emerging interurban transportation system. Arriving via streetcar, visitors to the park were thrilled by exotic animals, nightly fireworks, a bathhouse, death-defying amusement rides, roller skating, and that latest of inventions, electric lights! Over a century later, the tradition continues, and Oaks Park remains a popular destination for family days, community gatherings, and special events under the oak trees at the place "where the fun never ends!"
