Central Bark is a great large, open and fully-fenced dog park! It has a wash station, water, poo…read morebags, and a garbage can for general public use, as well as dog toys - tennis balls, chewy rings, an agility tunnel, and larger plastic balls. I still recommend bringing your own toys, but these make good fun for any dogs forgetting theirs. It would be awesome if it had a covered area for humans, but it does have a picnic bench and a few chairs. I highly suggest you wear clothes/shoes you don't mind getting muddy/dirty, especially in the rainy months. Our two labradoodles had a GREAT time playing with the other dogs and just running and being dogs in a large area. Highly recommended for fun-loving dogs and humans alike!

It's also great for biking, roller skating, or just getting outside and moving. I enjoy all the seasons here. One of my favorite things about this park is how connected it is. If you keep heading north, the trails will take you all the way to Riverfront City Park and Wallace Marine Park, making for a longer adventure without ever needing to get back in your car. Whether you're looking for exercise, wildlife, peaceful scenery, or just a place to clear your head, Minto-Brown is a fantastic park to visit.

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

This park has two play areas; a larger one for big dogs and a smaller area for small dogs. Both areas have a picnic table, but no water so make sure to bring your own dog water and bowl. There is also a large river right next to (but outside of the fenced area) the park for dogs that like to play in the water. There is generally a good mix of dogs here and so far we have yet to have any issues.

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.

This is the 107th dog park we have been to due to traveling. We have seen most everything. Best to say this first. The wood chips are sharp. Nothing has been tumbled. My dog is pretty tough and even he was ready to go in 5 minutes. I'm giving it a 3 star rating for two reasons. Open tractor gate at the back which I was UNaware of (that is a FIRST), and my dog was ready to go soon due to rough wood chips hurting him. I really want to lean towards a 2 star, but will give it the benefit of the doubt. If I just check the gates first my dog won't die. What this dog park has, or doesn't have: One big fenced "all dog section" Rough wood chips (sharp in July 2018) Double entrance gate Tractor gate in back w/ NO LOCK (it was OPEN) NO WATER (bring your own water) Bags Trash can in the "unleashing area" (easy to reach over the fence though, no need to exit to throw bag away) Lots of street parking It's not somewhere we could go due to the very rough wood chips. Our main dog park gets similar "you never know what donation bark it is", but it's never sharp. If I had to go again (we won't, but just sayin' if you choose to go) I would bring in a big zip tie to use on the tractor gate while we are in there. I zip tied it while I was there since three people all said it's a common total BS move to 1.) have it unlocked and 2.) someone doesn't care so they leave it open regularly. I emailed the city of Newport, OR and ask for a standard padlock on the TRACTOR gate. It's only for tractors and not used much. I encourage you to voice the same. To voice the padlock plea: Click on website in the Yelp app, click on contact, choose Parks and Recreation Department drop down. Just say "enough - put a padlock on it". Click send. A review takes more time than sending that.
