Riverfront Park (Salem, Oregon)

Riverfront Park is a 26-acre park located along the Willamette River in Salem, Oregon, in the United States. Features include the Riverfront Carousel, A. C. Gilbert's Discovery Village, an amphitheatre, a splashpad, a dock housing the Willamette Queen, and the Eco-Earth Globe. Annual events in Salem are often held at Riverfront, such as the World Beat Festival, outdoor movies, and holiday tree lightings. A 2018 update to the Riverfront Park plan provided more amenities such as acquiring a 4-acre property at the southeast corner of the park, opening the Peter Courtney Minto Island pedestrian bridge, operation of a winter ice rink, and proposals of a new covered stage and performance area. It is located on former industrial land owned by the Boise Cascade corporation redeveloped as part of the Riverfront-Downtown Urban Renewal Area.
