The common on the green? Looks like a typical New England public park but with so much history. Fun to walk around and see the historic markers.

Just love taking my daily walks around the common. Pop your ear buds in and walk the stress away. Also a great place to lay out and have lunch, read a book or people watch.

The commons are beautifully illuminated with lights installed by netflix for the hubie halloween movie. They had many paintings from local artists that you could take your pictures with. The only thing I didnt like was that a group of people (5-6) continually kept harassing me and there seemed to be no security around to help me.

A fairly well maintained park. Right in downtown is a great place to relax in between shopping or visiting nearby restaurants. Though can be pretty well crowded all October as Salem is a great attraction the closer to Halloween you get.

Salem is a wonderful experience for those spooky lovers like myself. I recommend The Witch Museum but since Covid-19 I would strongly advice you to reserve your tickets online or call ahead! If youve got the chance to travel to Salem please do!

Beautiful grassy park with paths cutting through it. There is a childs play area but with COVID-19, its closed. There are walkers to remind you to wear a mask and will provide one if needed. We had a nice, relaxing time having a socially distanced picnic.

Nice large lawn with criss-crossing paths. One side has a beautiful arch, another a gazebo, and another a playground. The playground has swings, slides, climbing areas, and more. Great for gatherings or just an easy stroll away from it all.

Very good public energy. The people are friendly and the dogs are just the cutest!

Always a pleasant place to walk. It is clean with gravel walkways, and has areas with shade. There are basketball courts and a decent sized childrens playground at one end.

Our kids love Salem Common. They have a very nice play center for little children. The only downside is, despite the abundant signs saying that masks are mandatory, there are still a decent number of people who choose not to wear one.

Pretty area to sit and enjoy the views!

Its a lovely commons, about 1.2mi around. Lovely views in downtown historic Salem, close to all the attractions and the Famous Hawthorne hotel. It sits just above Hawthorne Blvd and is over close to the Derby wharf area, where there is plenty of yum yum fine dining.

Cool park, very pretty in the fall. Relaxing to walk through or sit in

Nice quiet park with walking trails, lots of shade, a playground area, and plenty of benches to sit on. Fun people-watching or just relaxing.

Beautiful park, in the center of salem, easy access to all sites and great place to relax with the family.

Tranquil little park. Nice on a fall day.

Decent sized park but really just a large fenced in yard.

Its just a nice big lawn with a playground. Lots of space to do anything

Beautiful little open space in a crowded city (during October!). Take a break, go here and relax.

Great place to bring the kids, any time of the year. Especially Halloween.

Great, new play structures for the kids. A track to run on. Plenty of grassy space for picnics or exercise. A beautiful park in the historical city of Salem!

A Salem classic. Here youll find a wide selection of people, prime examples of Salems finest humans. Also litter, the occasional needle, a strong stench of urine at the gazebo, and missing and broken fences. I love this place.

Beautiful historic spot to take a walk or just sit on a bench and relax.

Got to see the school where Hocus Pocus was filmed.

Beautiful park and surprisingly quiet compared to the bustling downtown area.

The common is very family oriented with dog walking playground for children and running around park

Very clean, very nice dogs. Beautiful scenery

We love going to the Salem Commons, cold or warm our toddler always has a blast at the play ground. Our teen has his cross country practice there with a nice path around the whole perimeter. Lots of fun activities throughout the summer on the grass. From movies on the lawn to sidewalk sales. Or just lay in the grass and enjoy the sun.

This was a fun outing with a great park, that has squirrels which eat out of your hand and lots of history. This whole area has a lot of shopping, eating and sight seeing.

Well taken care of. All decorated for the filming of a scene from Hubie Halloween

Nice little road trip from buffalo to Salem but had a good time the commons were a good place for pics and to kill time between running around

Our first time to salem. Cant wait to go back

Salem common is awesome on Halloween every single year. Definitely a location for your bucket list.

First time visiting was wonderfully nice with social distancing a wonderful walk around town was amazing

Nice park reminded me of Washington Square Park in NYC

Great place for everyday kids play and dog walking or walking/jogging by yourself. Super awesome in Octoberfest Month!

Spacious, clean, friendly people, has a handicap swing, basketball court.

Beautiful park area surrounded by gorgeous homes. My best friend and I took a 5 day vacation for Halloween. There was fair food and plenty of tables set up here, as well as a few food trucks.

Peaceful quiet nice atmosphere.

My family loves all the entertainment that goes on down there throughout the years

I was here when they were putting up a set for a movie. Nice park, lots of shade and benches

We attended a wonderful festival there while on vacation in October. It was delightful and good food too.

We went on a road trip the town is quite cozy and clean. We could not enter the witches museum but we added it to the list of places to visit.

Its gorgeous literally everything you couldve dreamed of it you went or go.

Great place to just relax.

Historic, elegant and great walking for all kinds of activities

Very fun place and great people

This is a beautiful open park, right in the Heart of Salem. Just steps to the Salem witch Museum, and all the amazing shops that Salem has to offer. We were there on a food truck festival weekend, which made it quite the lively place!

So gorgeous. The pineapples on the fence are a sign of friendship and welcome. Our tour guide told us that Salem sailors, trading in the Pacific islands, were welcomed by the natives with pineapples and brought the custom home.

Delicious food and decent prices.

Perfect space for families

Beautiful place

It was nice to have the common to walk around in to get out of the crowd in Downtown Salem!

Simple park with very interesting history. Seriously look up some of the history that has happened in and around it. Also look into the tunnel system that travels underneath it. And can take a stroll around it to see the beautiful homes that surround it.

Nice big open spaces :-)

It was so beautiful here. I loved walking around and seeing where several movies were made. Hocus pocus had some scenes from here also. And seeing all the old builds around the common was great also. Very quite here I was able to sit down and relax for a few.

Average park, maybe because of large crowd looked like needed better maintenance. Adjacent to the witch museum.

It was ok. Off season not much going on

Stunning park, great open spaces. Right next to the school that was used in filming Hocus Pocus if youre into that.

A good outdoor space, and a lovely place to walk through.

Great area for walking around

This was our first time visiting Salem around Halloween. We found plenty of things to see. Lots of vendors with everything from crystals and potions to burgers and pizza. We did a lot of walking, including a side trip when we first got there and didnt know where to go. There are ghost tours both walking and by trolley. And some very interesting shops to browse through.

This place is always neat and clean. Perfect place to get some exercise and relaxation.

A nice square in the middle of Salem to get away from the crowds for a few minutes. My wife and I were exploring looking for Hocus Pocus filming sites

Nice open space with a small playground at one end for children to get some energy out.

Fun place. Good cool wind in the summer lots of dogwalkers and joggers

Salem was too much fun!!

So beautiful and tranquil. Nice little playground for the kids. Love the old fence and stone archways. A great place to visit. History well preserved.

Salem Common is a nice green space in Salem. During Halloween this is a hub of activity with the carnival and concerts and Witch Circle. Great place for a picnic or playing catch. Close to the Hawthorne Hotel and Essex St.

Great picnic area

Always a beautiful place

Very cool Witch haven

Nice open green space

Well kept up, busy park. Spent the afternoon sitti g in the shade, the park provided bottles of water, watched a wedding. And I love that the park has water fountains for dogs!

Its a big flat grassy area. Nice playground for kids on one end. Dogs have to be on a leash. Scenic and historic feeling like everything else in the area.

Fun visit in Salem. Check it out on Halloween for mock bands and lots of costumes and fried food!

Big park good condition.

Lovely area with plenty of nice seasonal attractions, but not to an overwhelming degree. Perfect for picnicking, strolling, photographing, or dog watching.

We took the trolley tour on the same day as the pride parade. It was fun and festive. Im not sure what it would be like if there werent all the festivities going on. That definitely added a lot of fun to the day.

So much to do in this historic seaside village. Great in the fall especially around Halloween.

I absolutely, loved it!

Totally loved the place. Waikiki island. Go for sunset. Rad place to go for once in a lifetime

First time here, but not the last.

Nice and quiet these days...

A good place.

What a beautiful clean park. I really enjoyed my time there.

Great place to walk around. Lots of green. Close to downtown Salem. Right next to the witch museum.

The park is right in the middle of Salem. Always clean and well maintained. The half mile running circle is well shaded. Pleasant surprise.

Quiet. Playground for kids in one corner. Went on a hot day so I stayed off the field bit it looked big enough for just about any large event.

Went here for the Salem food truck festival. It was easy to get too, there are plenty of parking garages nearby. It was clean.

Good place.to relax and play with your children there

Beautiful city center park with wide walking path covered by large shade trees. Large field for relaxing or playing sports. Great playground for children. Close to everything in Downtown Salem

A lovely bit of green near the centre of town. On this occasion it was hosting an amazing food festival

Nice area to visit. Clean grounds. Stopped a had a snack before visiting Salem Witch Trial Museum.

Cool place

Not as festive as i remember but always a great experience. history, enthusiasms.... salem is always worth a visit.

A really nice place to just take a casual brisk evening walk.

Beautiful park and a nice playground. When you need a little extra green and a free less cobblestones, walk this way.

Great place a walk/jog.

Cant go wrong at the commons. Exactly what you would expect. Public park with plenty of room for people. Bandstand, playground, ect. Right in the heart of Salem.
