Later, locals got a big boost in the fun as the Island become a preferred location for a series of early century amusement parks.

Jantzen Beach Park

Doors opened to the public on May 26, 1928 on a 40-acre site on the west end of the Island where the shopping center bearing the same name sits. On its second day of operation, 25,000 visitors showed up. By 1970 when the park closed, over 30 million visitors had passed through the turnstiles. Big attractions were the Big Dipper roller coaster, Golden Canopy Ballroom, four swimming pools, a natatorium, 25 acres of picnic grounds, 15 acres of parking and the C.W. Parker Merry-Go-Round, built in 1904 for the St. Louis World's Fair. You can still ride the merry-go-round today at Jantzen Beach Center.

Lotus Isle
Portland's largest amusement park was Lotus Isle opened in 1930 and spread over 128 acres at the east end of Hayden Island, known as Tomahawk Island. Promoters referred to it as the "Million-Dollar Pleasure Paradise." Lotus Isle featured 40 amusement park rides and a 100-foot neon Eiffel Tower sign at the entrance, visible all the way to the West Hills.

Columbia Beach Amusement Park

Columbia Beach featured excellent camping facilities and the dance pavilion was one of the largest in the country with dances every day of the week.
