Damage to Our Parks

Damage to the City of Salem's parks and landscape maintenance areas is recorded monthly from information obtained by law enforcement agencies, citizens, and park maintenance personnel. The incidents recorded are those caused by malicious mischief, theft, and reckless action.

The documentation of incidents began in 2000. Since then, an average of $30,000 has been billed annually for damages, with the highest costs involving graffiti removal.  Staff have been working closely with the Salem Police Department's graffiti abatement program to reduce the graffiti problem. You can help by reporting graffiti in parks or open spaces by calling 503-588-6336.
