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.

Livingston Park is a neighborhood park with picnic tables, a baseball/softball backstop with a large grass playing field, a basketball court with 4 hoops for half court and full court play, benches next to the playground*, and a second smaller grass field for picnicking or kicking a ball around. The hard walking trail circles around the large grass field. Parallel street parking is available on Hawthorne Avenue.

*Livingston Park playground will be receiving upgrades as part of the Safety and Livability Bond passed by Salem voters in November of 2022. Upgrades throughout the city are taking place starting in fiscal year 2023 through fiscal year 2032.
