In 1960, Multnomah County acquired the park, dismantled the rides and razed the dance pavilion. |

I want to say a special word of thanks to two contributors to this tribute to Blue Lake Park. First is Frank Schlick, who comes up with some great finds. Pictures of the Dance Pavilion and rides at Blue Lake are rarely seen. He found some great ads including the Grand Opening of Blue Lake. And secondly, Larry High. He donated some hard-to-find information about Blue Lake and the other Amusement Parks in Portland. |
