    This is a really great park sitting along the Willamette River. The park has a nice large…read moreplayground; it would only be better if there was a fence but there are steps so that slows a kiddo down. The Riverfront Park includes the playground and just grassy area (which is nice for all the folks we saw picnicking), and the carousel, plus food trucks congregate in the amphitheater area sometimes. The day we were there there were three of them and plenty of space for a couple more. Nice option to go grab a snack. There were a few picnic tables and we were able to claim one of them. The bathrooms were pretty gross. There was no soap or anything in them and one was in yucky shape. That led us to the port-a-potty, which was pretty gross but a little less gross than the permanent toilets. There's a large parking lot here since they must have lots of various activities taking place here. I'm glad we visited here (at a friend's recommendation) and got to enjoy this (mostly) well-kept park.

    My 4 year old and I came down to Salem to tsp the Enchanted Forest. So the day before we explored…read moreSalem. This park was worth the afternoon stop. A carousel ($2 person-go to gift shop to buy the coins) Large grassy areas to run or let the dog roll around (on leash). Really large area of outdoor play area with climbing, swings and slides. Of course the iconic walking bridge. Recommend: pick up some bbq from The Back Porch on Edgewater (5 min drive) and picnic. See review of restaurant

    This is a nice little park located north-west of Salem. It is easy to miss off of the highway and…read morethat is one of its best qualities in my mind. I drove by this little park several times and had no clue it was ever there. The actual name of the park is a Willamette Greenway. The park itself has a small parking lot. The trail starts from the parking lot and is gravel for some time. Eventually, it turns into a standard dirt trial. The trail makes a nice little loop that splits off after about 200 yards from the start. If you take a left you will go straight to the river and see a nice little bench that overlooks the river. The forest that this trail travels through is a mix of some broadleaf trees and some tall fir trees. It is an absolute beauty of a trial. The trail is very short, so if your looking for a long hike, be prepared to do some laps. If you have a dog, there does not appear to be any rules posted regarding leashes, but it's not a bad idea to bring one just in case. If you are north of Salem and looking for a nice little hike this is a great option, however not a very long trek! Here is a link to the land management agency that manages this park. http://oregonstateparks.org/index.cfm?do=parkPage.dsp_parkPage&parkId=194
