Pricing Snapshot
Forest River Park Splash Pad is one of Salem's two official city splash pads and sits just outside Forest River Pool in the city's signature waterfront park. Families can combine splash play with the larger Forest River Park setting, including picnic areas, beaches, benches, and nearby playground time. This is a strong choice for a fuller summer outing, especially if you want a public splash option with more surrounding park context than a stand-alone spray feature.
