Riley Plaza

It's a busy place. People going around town cross through all the time. It's also a small plaza.
It does have granite seating all around. It's very small and has a large patriotic flag display. Locals just call it "The Flags" rather than Riley plaza. But it does have a monument on a huge rock about Riley. The Flags has huge flag poles in the center of it. Some of the flags change based on current holidays. But the American flag and POW/MIA fly all the time.
Some of the unhoused congregate there, but they are generally very nice.

Very pretty. I love that they have Pride flags during June. Such a great representation of all members of the community.

many spots are permit only, and you can only park an hour at the meters mon - sat; but i called the mall and asked (worried about being towed) & they said parking isn't enforced sundays!

One of the most beautiful parts of Salem. I found it a perfect spot for contemplation when I was going through a rough patch.

Good place to sit MINUS the homeless sometimes.

Quiet place

Gr8 place to visit

They need to keep the homeless people out like they do at Lafayette Park. They yell, fight, sleep on the little walls. It doesn't look good for tourists. I know Ligebridge is right there.. but can't they make an adult park somewhere on a side street just for them?. Some benches, trees and such but nothing for kids.

Nice space that’s well kept. That is it you can deal with the rude and drunk people around you.

Un lindo espacio.

this park is lost to the homeless. you can't go through the washington st lights without a homeless person holding a sign at the top the hill across from dominos or at the derby st/ washington st intersection. most mornings they are tolling both locations. there's also a spooky guy in all black by mandee's pizza @essex and boston st. cops and the mayor do not care.
