Keizer Rapids Park

Best dog park in the area. I come here frequently with my dog. It is sponsored by the local veterinary clinics. There are two fenced off areas, one for big dogs and one for small dogs. It’s very clean, has nice/​friendly people. The only thing I don’t like is how families bring their kids into the dog pins, who chase the dogs around trying to pet them and give them treats. This is a safe place for big and small dogs to go, there is a play ground across the parking lot, put your kids there and out of the dog area. Not all dogs like kids and not all owners like that you feed their dogs without asking, so be mindful of that.

First time taking my pups to the dog park and we will definitely be going again! We have to have a fenced area, so this was ideal. Lots of room to run and it’s not muddy. So many friendly people, made our stop very fun!

A pretty nice little get-​away. As a Keizer resident I like to bike here for a quick ride through the trails. I can only give it 3 stars as it feels unfinished. The dog park area is expansive — seems good for a dog owner.
As one not using the dog park this place seems to attract strollers and women walking for the 15 or so minutes it takes to get through the place. I would like to see completed trails follow-​through along the river. Seems like it has a good boat launch, however, for me the trails are OK for biking through.
Maybe the plans are grand for this place — I can hope so. Would be great to offer benches and seating along the way and river.

Very nice park. Could use some better amenities though, currently has port-​a-​potties. It’s also a very nice dog park. Also has a boat launch and frisbee golf course.

What a lovely park!
Met a friend here today– first time I’ve ever been! The dog park is nice, smaller than Minto, but it’s fenced. This dog park has two separate spaces for large dogs and for small dogs to frolic. The few dog owners I met were friendly and understanding as my dog isn’t that great with making dog friends.
The trails were also nice, fairly short too. I will be back!

Best disc golf course in Salem, hands down.
Easy enough to navigate with a stroller, lots of variety throughout the course (they even have a water shot), and HUGE. So big that you probably won’t even see other players. The map listed on Capitol City Disc Golf’s web page is NOT to scale, so you want to enter the very first path on your right when coming out of the parking lot.
The only bad thing about this park is the confusing layout. We had no idea how to access the course. First we ended up at the dog park; then we parked at the boat launch parking. We had to walk through the first set of trees before we found a basket (and another parking area). Still not sure how to get to that parking place, but we’ll figure it out next time.

I love this park with areas for little and for big dogs and walking paths to the river
