About the Park
Orchard Heights Park's off-leash area at 1165 Orchard Heights Rd NW in west Salem offers both a fenced dog run and an unfenced off-leash field, so you can choose a secure space or open room to roam depending on your dog. Seating, waste bags, walking trails, baseball fields, an adjacent playground, and a community garden make it a full neighborhood park. The grassy off-leash area is open daily from early morning to midnight and free to use. Salem sits in the heart of the Willamette Valley, where rainy winters keep the grass green and occasionally muddy. The combination of fenced and open areas is the standout here, letting owners pick the setup that fits their dog's recall and energy.
