Salem Parks

The pride and joy of any town is the public park system. Salem boasts hidden gems located inside neighborhoods, larger community parks with reservable areas for weddings, reunions, company picnics, and athletic tournaments, plus special event parks for concerts, festivals, movies, and run/walk events. Salem is fortunate to have historical sites and park features not found anywhere this side of the Mississippi. Salem's thriving volunteer base works in tandem, contributing assistance to support these wonderful City resources.

The City of Salem owns this small park as part of the Waller Dam. The dam was built in 1864 by early pioneers to divert water from Mill Cree to Mill Race providing water power to emerging Salem industries. The Mill Race is more than a mile long and passes through downtown Salem before connecting to Pringle Creek.
