We visited for the first time in 20 years, the park, like the town has seen better days. Decent playground on the far end of the Park- watch for splinters!
The play place was amazing and my girls had so much fun! So glad I live up the street from it, once the weather breaks and the rain stops I will definitely be bringing my girls back! It was the perfect place for them to spend some quality time playing with their papa who lives 5 hours away and was in town for a visit.
The park is often littered with individuals trash. As someone who enjoys clean venues and appreciates public properties, I volunteer some of my time to helping clean up around the park, playground specifically, it just seems to be getting worse and worse with litter as time passes.
I’ve been going here since long before I can remember. Always brings back a LOT of memories. Highly recommend!
Centennial Park is Always Very Well Taken Care of. It was Great to See Shane Franks The Park Director Workin On The Swimmin Pool an John Workin Hard Also.
Absolutely Beautiful and Well maintained! Very relaxing late afternoon took our dinnerWith us, sat at a picnic table under a Beautiful Oak tree and enjoyed our dinner with the Squirrels
Nice place for a picnic. Great playground when theres no pandemic!
Easy walk around the park. Droned first a few minutes with no interruptions.
Always amazing food! Best chili cheese dogs ever!
Great nature park. Weve heen enjoying it alot
Lovely park. Great playground.
Cleaned up and looking better than ever, always loved this park as a kid.
Nice place to gave a picnic then let the kids go play in the play area while you enjoy the sun
The Park has a play ground area. Basketball courts, tennis courts, restrooms and picnic areas. Very well kept park.
Nice, clean and manicured park. Right in the center of town. Great park.
Lunch in the shade, at a clean picnic table, on a VERY hot day. Perfect.Well maintained park.
Clean, nice & quiet. Beautiful landscaping to look at as well.
Gorgeous park seen a hawk hanging out
Nice place. Good job on fixing up the playground
Some of the seating could be placed in the more shaded areas. They could be repaired as well.
I go to feed the squirrels! By the way they love McDonalds fries!
Great salty fries
Spent many summer afternoons and evenings playing in this park in my childhood. Always fun.
Duck park is better
Great place to eat lunch
It looks like a nice park, I will definitely have to come back in warmer weather
Nice quiet clean park!
Quite and very well kept
Nice park
Very nice!
Not kept up very well
I love taking my step son and his little cousins here, police are always patrolling the area. I miss the tire swing, and the nets from whenever I was a child. What I dislike about the place are teenagers who talk about disgusting things that children should not here. And it seems to be a fun place for them to smoke their pot. Which is DISRESPECTFUL for children to be around.
There was trash everywhere and the tennis courts are terrible to try to play on
Very nice and beautiful park
A nice little park for kids to play.
Its a nice park
Beautiful natural park in Salem.
Playground is fun and the pool has a nice splash pad. Plenty of shelters, basketball hoops and tennis courts.
Very pleasant park...well kept...fountain a great addition...pavilions and fenced in play area....easy access...soft ball fields..tennis courts...and hoops court....swimming pool...pay to swim
Serene and quaint
Wishing people wouldnt abuse/break play features at the kids playground. Tire swing is broken again, needs simple repair but I know if I take tools in to fix it Ill be blamed for it breaking in the first place. Good park overall.
Park is decently maintained but there is work to be done there. Seems like kids cause trouble there too
Beautiful place to take children to play and relax
There was a baseball game today and everyone was having a good time. Great day for a walk in the park
Centennial park is nice. Lots of stuff to do. Basketball court, tennis court, swimming pool, kids play area, baseball fields, restrooms, pavilions.
Lovely park. Nice place to have a picnic.
It gives people in Salem something to do when the options are even lower than usual. Spacious and pretty.
Always clean
My children adore this park! The children have fun and they just put in fresh sand!! There are tennis courts, baseball fields and basket ball courts, all of the pavilions are spaced nicely and the community swimming pool is a blast! They have a nice shallow section and a splash pad area for the kids, which is amazing!!
Lovely big trees. Very relaxing place.
Small park with a few options for activities. Pool opens in the summer. Well maintained for the most part. Needs some attention and updating. Kids playground is nice tho.
Sad to see alot of trees gone. But the fountain was cool
Exciting place to take families and kids
Nice park, playground for kids, bathrooms and a pool for summertime fun!!!!
Such a cute and unique playground, lots of pavilions, pool, tennis court and baseball field. They have it all
Beautiful park. They have a public pool; tennis court; basketball court; pavilions; and nice playground area for the kids to swing; climb and slide. Very well maintained. They also have an awesome Antiques In The Park every July.
Good place to eat lunch
Theres a lot of riff raff here and very sketchy people but if you get past that, it is a very beautiful park. They are constantly fixing things too, they just put in multiple new things on the playground.
This park is full of my childhood memories! My brothers and sisters and I spent a lot of time here! My father was Foreman of the city park for years! So yes, I love this park.
Wonderful place to eat lunch! Many squirrels to watch. Great place to walk you dog, on leash of course. Nice large pavilions for gatherings & smaller ones for a family picnic!
Love the new sprinkler play area for the little ones
Sat in my car in the quiet park and ate my lunch. Peaceful place.
Its nice and close.
Its okay not thrilled with the changes to the landscape. Not very Pokemon Go friendly. Witnessed players being TOLD to leave the park or cops would be called to remove them.
Cute park
Nice park
Very clean with lots of things for kids to do. very peaceful and tons of squirels to watch.
One of the best parts for kids to explore and have fun. Lots of shade when it is very sunny for all.
Loved it
Love going there with a lunch snack and watching the squirrels play!
Clean & quiet
Kind of dirty but a nice place to host events
Easy to access and other parents attended to their children well. No kids running around and making a dangerous atmosphere for the little ones.
Excellent food. Fresh and delicious. Good customer service. Clean facility
Nice park/ pool to visit
Really nice place to take the family!
My kids like it but there is other reasons I dont like it that is because people I see in my town and the bathroom is not the best from what I remember and you have to watch your kids good in there because most the time there is alot of kids and people there but hey thats a park to I guess Haha
A pleasant park, sports, swimming, childrens playground, dog walking and picnic areas. A place to enjoy the day whatever the event!
Great clean park. Good to relax and great place to have cookouts or get togethers! The kids play Castle is really nice and so is the swimming pool. The sled riding in the winter is fun too.
Love the park for picnics the playgrounds osum
Nice place had a nice time.
Love the park! The kids love the playground, the pool and the new splash pad!
Visited in the morning, peaceful.
A great place to visit.
I literally just come to hit the gym in Pokemon Go. Playground equipment is ok, but no walking trails makes me less likely to come here over other parks.
Beautiful park. Well kept. Can rent pivilans for parties
Lots of shade trees
Nice play area for children. Many pavilions to rent. Nice tennis court also has basketball courts. Does have swimming pool but it is in need of some improvements. Mostnparks are much bigger.
Its a great Park plenty of room I like the pool I like The Pavilions the playground but the bathrooms thats a whole nother story not to mention it wouldnt hurt if they put another bathroom in and actually decided to make the employee clean them a few times a day because you got nasty nasty people that do unspeakable things to the bathrooms please put some soap dispensers in the bathroom that you do have
Good place for kids to play
It is a beautiful city park. It is a nice size and well maintained.
Great place for kids to play
Its an ok place to bring your kids. Although the older kids make it hard for younger kids to have a good time. Theres alot of drug use fowl language and bad behavior at this park.
Only been here to relax and it was a great time. Many places for people to go and do stuff but also lots of space to play and do your own thing.
Nice place for kids to chase squirrels and it also has a nice playground, tennis courts, basketball court, pavilions
Very nice atmosphere clean good place to go for a walk
Nice place
Except the toilet seats are really really cold right now this time of yr
