Kid-Friendly Fun

The Field of Dreams is located on Geremonty Drive across the street from the Salem District Court. The field includes a playground, fitness trails, a volleyball court and an amphitheater that hosts a weekly summer concert series.

According to their website, the Field of Dreams "is a single individual’s dream brought to fruition when members of the community raised funds to build a park on 7.5 acres of land deeded to the Town of Salem." That single individual was Robert Leathers, who took input from local children when designing the space.

The Field of Dreams is open from dawn to dusk from April 15 to November 15.

On the other side of town, families can bring their kids to enjoy Hedgehog Park located at 53 Lowell Road across from the BP gas station. The park includes a small playground, picnic tables, a bathroom facility and walking trails.

In addition the park includes a skate park where kids can bring their skateboards and try out some moves.

In the summertime lifeguards are on duty for swimming on Hedgehog Pond. It is the only town-run facility with swimming.
