Being the owner of the cutest dog in town, I decided to write a brief blog for those other dog lovers out there, who might be relocating to Salem or are new and maybe not sure of what is out there.

Salem is dog friendly and dogs are allowed in all parks, provided they are on a leash. It goes without saying that your dog needs to be properly trained before you should take them to a park.

Currently there are two off leash dog areas here in Salem proper

Minto Brown Island park and Orchard Heights Park. There is some talk about having an area at Cascades Gateway Park, but not enough funds at this time.

While not located in Salem, Silverfalls State Park has an excellent off leash area for dogs as well. Be warned that dogs are not allowed on some of the trails, so if you plan to walk the waterfalls with your dogs, you will be disappointed.

Salem has many city parks. Use common decency when using the parks with your dogs, and remember to keep them on a leash unless you have voice command with them. Otherwise, enjoy some of the nice parks, that we have to offer!
