    For those of us were familiar with Lewis P. Aldrich (AKA "Rocket") Park in its original form, its…read morepresent state is a mere faint shadow of its former self. Back in the mid 60's when it opened as such it was crowded with kids from the time school let out until dinnertime and all day on weekends. Nothing provided shelter except the firepit/picnic structure. So, come the wet weather, one made do as best as one could. The land for park use was bought in 1950. However, I don't know if it was named as Aldrich Park at that early date. I knew my grandfather knew Lewis Aldrich personally but, being a kid, I never asked him what the stipulations were as far as Mr. Aldrich's handing over the land to build the park that I knew and loved. The re-outfitting of the park as I knew it was finished in 1967. And the amenities were impressive. Basketball hoops (still there)/Tennis court (gone). A three-stream fountain shooting onto a big piece of basalt rock to cool us all off in the heat. Gone. Horseshoe courts. Gone. Softball field. Gone. Four-story-tall four-segmented rocket with a radar station opposite it across the sand playground. Gone. Sand playground. Gone--replaced with wood chips. A big concrete structure like a rollercoaster that you could ride your bike, skates or skateboard up and down. Gone. BIG swing set. Gone. Geodesic dome monkey bars structure. Gone. The firepit in the still-extant covered picnic structure was removed in about 1982. I think idiots made it into a fire hazard, so they removed it. Too bad because roasting marshmallows and stuff there was always fun. It was "my park" from 1968-1983 as I lived right across the street from it. By 1978 the demographics of the neighborhood were changing and the constant roar of kids playing there died off. In 2004 a city block of houses and the park were obliterated to make way for the (New) Bush Elementary School. That institution is nowhere NEAR as big or accommodating as its namesake that I attended in the '70's. And it says something about the neighborhood in which it now sits. The neighborhood, like Aldrich Park, is a mere shadow of its former self. Sic Transit Gloria Mundi. So the glory of the world. All things must pass.

    It's an older park that has seen better days. But it has a decent children's playground and a nice…read morecovered area with picnic tables.

    We had an issue with the foundation under our court that they built about 9 years ago. They agreed…read moreto fix it as in their words "This shouldn't have been built with wood." After over 3 months of emails back and forth to schedule the repair, and in the middle of them, a change of ownership at Sport Court of Oregon, they now won't fix it or help with it at all. Bart Dickson the new owner came out to find what he called a "win-win" which ended up being denying all responsibility despite his employee admitting it was their fault and they would fix it. He fabricated a story that we selected wood for the material so it's our fault, which I have paperwork showing that's not the case. They sent us an email with contractors to call to figure it out on our own. Note, prior to the change of ownership, they had been wonderful to work with. Buyer beware if you ever have an issue under the new ownership. They will gladly take your money but you're on your own if something goes wrong, even if they admit it was their error.

    We have had our Sport Court for over 3 years now and are SO happy with the service with have…read morereceived from Mike & Team at install and over the years. They are always responsive when we have questions, thoughtful in providing solutions and willing to go the extra mile to take care of any small issues. It was a big decision to put a Sport Court in but are so glad we did! The fun times with family and friends playing basketball and pickleball are priceless. Thanks Sports Court for being a wonderful company to work with!

    This is a really great park sitting along the Willamette River. The park has a nice large…read moreplayground; it would only be better if there was a fence but there are steps so that slows a kiddo down. The Riverfront Park includes the playground and just grassy area (which is nice for all the folks we saw picnicking), and the carousel, plus food trucks congregate in the amphitheater area sometimes. The day we were there there were three of them and plenty of space for a couple more. Nice option to go grab a snack. There were a few picnic tables and we were able to claim one of them. The bathrooms were pretty gross. There was no soap or anything in them and one was in yucky shape. That led us to the port-a-potty, which was pretty gross but a little less gross than the permanent toilets. There's a large parking lot here since they must have lots of various activities taking place here. I'm glad we visited here (at a friend's recommendation) and got to enjoy this (mostly) well-kept park.

    My 4 year old and I came down to Salem to tsp the Enchanted Forest. So the day before we explored…read moreSalem. This park was worth the afternoon stop. A carousel ($2 person-go to gift shop to buy the coins) Large grassy areas to run or let the dog roll around (on leash). Really large area of outdoor play area with climbing, swings and slides. Of course the iconic walking bridge. Recommend: pick up some bbq from The Back Porch on Edgewater (5 min drive) and picnic. See review of restaurant
