This concept is my idea to transform Oaks Amusement Park into a theme park that is centered around the concept of the Trolley Park and the history of Portland and its surrounding areas.
The concept begins with access to the park, which would be transformed by way of trolley. Access would utilize the historic Springwater Rail Corridor.
Parking would shift away from the site and instead would be in a parking garage located at the current, but soon to be relocated, OLCC warehouse and distribution Center located at 9079 SE McLoughlin Blvd, Milwaukie, OR 97222. There is also close proximity to the SE Tacoma/Johnson Creek Transit Station.
Other access would be by way of Transit Access with a trolley station at the Oregon Rail Heritage Center, which is next to the OMSI/SE Water Ave transit station.
