There are also people that come here who are unpleasant. Let's not even mention the people who can't control their dogs. On the plus side, they have a dog water fountain, person fountain, and a portable toilet. However, I can get that at almost every other dog park I've been to.

This dog park is rundown with no maintenance. I took my beloved dog there as a change of pace and…read morewas a bit disappointed. Yes, there are 2 fenced areas for dogs. It has been mowed but obviously weed eating around the fence was an additional expense, it hasn't been done. There are holes on the fenced area that could warrant a sprained or broken ankle if you don't look. They are at least 6 inches deep and 8 to 10 inches in diameter. This park has obviously been neglected by the City of Salem and needs attention. The lake adjacent to the dog park had people fishing. The only one to catch a fish was an eagle? I question even eating a fish out of that pond. There were a few people coming out of the woods while I was there, which leads to the fact that there are still some homeless in the area. Sadly, this park is not on the city of Salem's priority list and wont be back

The first section had bark ground covering and a few trees and benches. I am not comfortable with my dogs walking on bark because of the possible splinter factor and it just doesn't seem as comfortable. So we walked farther on to the grassy area which was a lot nicer but it didn't have many trees and there were no benches to sit at. There were a few places for dogs to get drinks and a couple of plastic pools to take a doggie dip in. There were large trash receptacles which were a welcome sight. A lot of parking out front and a potter potty nearby if needed.

Our last visit was during a government shutdown, and we were happy to see that the restrooms near the parking lot were both open and being maintained.
