Oasis State Park Celebrates 50th Birthday
Sunday will mark the 50th anniversary of the opening of Oasis State Park, and festivities are planned to honor the occasion. There will be multiple speakers honoring the parks and giving their perspective of the history of Oasis. There will also be live music and a vintage car show to mark the occasion. According to the State Parks Division, the concept for Oasis State Park was formalized in 1961, and signed into law by then-Governor Mechem, officially creating the park from property that was formerly known as Taylor’s Grove. In order to complete the feel for the name “Oasis,” the pond was created in 1971 and has been the center of family fishing since that time. The state park is located about 7 ½ miles north of Portales, just off of the Airbase Highway.
