There are fun structures for the kids to play on, and an open field, but not a lot of seating or parking.

We discovered this park a while back when looking for a geocache near there. We found to our amazement, a bocce ball court! So we wet back to play. Its a quaint setting in a cute neighborhood. Theres a splash pad, play ground, and lots of room to play. Both visits we saw other people using the park and enjoying the area.

Nice little park... picnic tables in the shade, a couple of play structures, a splash pad, and a disc golf basket! All in one! And only 5 minutes from my house- great! There were some yellow jackets interested in our lunch, however, but thats par for the course!

Nice park in the middle of the city. Its located on one of Salems covered reservoir, meaning theres a large section of flat cement with a playground next to it.The park has general playground equipment, restrooms, a basketball court, a disk golf basket, and a field (among probably other things I dont remember).But the best part is the walking trail on the west side of the park. Its a similar downhill trail like Croisan Creek, in that its a deeply forested path that almost lets you forget youre in the middle of the city. The trail seems to be well-maintained, if short. There are enough side paths to keep it interesting!

Quiet secrets lay West of the park on the initially steep nature trail. While the main trail is mostly moderate difficulty except steep part behind park, runs to a quiet neighborhood South of the park. There is a unmarked side trail that runs down to River Road South. Caution on side trail, about half way to River Road both sides of path within 1ft of trail is poison oak. This trail from River Rd side only looks like a deer trail but is only steep until you enter tree canopy and wide enough for single file walking.

Super clean! Not alot of people at all. This park has zero homeless people in it. The first park that was almost perfect in salem.

It is okay. Lacking menu items and deck access when I visited. The food was only okay, nothing special. The prices exceed quality and taste. I like the atmosphere for a lunch environment but not dinner, relaxaing, or cozy.

This is a really great little park. There is tons of room for kids to run around, and lots of fun playground equipment. There is a small covered area with some tables for a picnic. It even has a splash pad, which is great during the summer time.P Salem has many other parks with much bigger equipment, but if you live in the area this is a great neighborhood park.

Im extremely impressed by this park. Its not large, but its in a quiet neighborhood and it is ideal for families with children. It has a creative playset as well as a splash pad for the summer months. There are few people here, so its a good alternative to busier parks.

New fun playground equipment, a grassy field, and a large cement area which is a covered reservoir. You can play basketball or ride bikes on the reservoir. There is also access to a foot path that goes through the neighborhood.
