About Salem Willows Park

Salem Willows is a waterfront park on the North Shore that pairs open shoreline with a mix of entertainment. Visitors can wander the coast, picnic on the lawns, or fish from the pier. Families and couples can also find two arcades with prize games, bumper cars, and a wiffle ball batting cage. Food options include pizza, ice cream, popcorn, a local chop suey sandwich, and fried clams. Sports courts and gazebos are also on the grounds.
