Games / Sports The Skinny on Mini

Happy 106th Birthday, Oaks Park! Just when you thought Oaks Park couldn't get any better, they give us something Portland was in dire need of—glorious al fresco putt-putt. Yep that's right, to celebrate their birthday the fine folks at the park are opening an outdoor mini-golf course, right by the rink on the river, with tentative plans to open this weekend for the Memorial Day crowds.
Hit up pdxhistory.com for a fascinating history of the Coney Island of the Northwest. It used to have a huge swimming pavilion, monkeys and bears, a thriving streetcar line, and a rollerskating elephant on the midway!
