Salem Willows, Oceanfront amusement park in Salem, United States
The 35-acre recreational area includes beaches, a pier, restaurants, arcade games, tennis courts, basketball courts, and children's rides along Salem Harbor.
European white willow trees were planted in 1801 to create shade for patients from a nearby smallpox hospital, leading to the park's name.
The Charleshurst Ballroom at Salem Willows attracted musicians Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and Louis Armstrong during the 1920s entertainment era.
Visitors can watch fireworks displays from three different cities - Salem, Beverly, and Marblehead - from the beach on July 4th celebrations.
E.W. Hobbs stand, operating since 1897, introduced what many consider the first ice cream cone in America at Salem Willows in 1906.
