Your financial donation can make the biggest and most immediate impact for the park's improvement needs. Many companies that you already use support the important work of the Salem Parks Foundation by providing opportunities for the public to donate, purchase products and/or support programs that benefit our projects.
The iconic mosaic sculpture known as Eco-Earth is deteriorating and needs your help. Time and weather have taken its toll on this beloved community project that was gifted to the City in 2003 and we are asking the community to raise the funding needed to restore Eco-Earth!
The cost of restoration is estimated at $400,000.
Donations may be made to Salem Parks Foundation designated to Eco-Earth.
Checks may be mailed to:

All donations help, no matter the size!
The Neighborhood Park Grant Program is one of the ways to donate to Salem parks using your ideas. Take a look at your park and how you use it. Are there ways it could be better? More lighting, a new piece of equipment, a sports field? Take your ideas to your neighborhood association and apply for a grant. This donor supported program of the Salem Parks Foundation can also be used in combination with the City of Salem’s Salem Parks Improvement Fund (S.P.I.F.) grant program to improve your neighborhood park.
Owl attacks in the parks may occur during mating and nesting seasons. The Barred Owl is very territorial and can be quite an aggressive bird, so it is important to be aware and on the look-out for them at certain times of the year.
Owl attack signs posted around the parks provide warnings to be on the lookout. Anyone can purchase an owl attack sign and we offer them in two sizes.
