Parks and Outdoor Spots in Salem, MA
Salem is a harbor city, so a lot of its best outdoor time happens by the water. Salem Willows and Winter Island sit out on Salem Neck with ocean views, the Harbor Walk follows the downtown waterfront, and Salem Common is the green heart of the historic district.
This page lists every park, beach, playground and dog park we track in Salem, sorted by Google rating. Neighborhood parks are included too, since they are where locals actually spend their Saturday mornings.
When downtown gets loud in October, a walk out to the Willows or along Forest River is the easiest way to remember Salem is a small New England coastal city.
