Exploring Salem Oregon: Riverfront City Park
Plan a
family-friendly fun day at Riverfront City Park in Salem, Oregon!
Formerly a mill
and industrial site, Riverfront City Parkis now a wonderful open
space filled with hiking trails, playgrounds, boat docks, and a stunning view
of the Willamette River. It's one of the most popular public spaces in Salem
and is home to Salem's Riverfront Carousel.
The park encompasses 26 acres and does well to connect the natural settings to
the cityscape.
The Eco-Earth
Globe sculpture is
another eye-catching attraction of this popular downtown public space, near the
aesthetically pleasing pedestrian bridge spanning the water to connect with Minto-Brown
Island Park. This area of the park really shines come sunset.
