Salem, OR — This summer, four neighborhood parks in Salem are set to undergo significant upgrades aimed at enhancing recreational opportunities and improving community amenities. The planned improvements include the installation of new pickleball courts, upgraded playground equipment, and the addition of water fountains, among other enhancements.
City officials announced that the upgrades are part of an ongoing effort to promote outdoor activities and create more family-friendly spaces throughout Salem’s neighborhoods. Pickleball, which has seen a surge in popularity in recent years, will be a featured addition, with newly constructed courts designed to accommodate players of all ages and skill levels.
In addition to the pickleball courts, the parks will receive modernized playground structures to provide safer and more engaging play areas for children. New water fountains will also be installed to ensure visitors have access to fresh drinking water, encouraging longer visits and active use of the parks.
While the specific parks slated for these upgrades have not yet been disclosed, city officials have assured residents that the improvements will be distributed across different neighborhoods to maximize accessibility.
The upgrades are scheduled to begin in early summer and are expected to be completed by late summer, just in time for residents to enjoy the enhanced facilities during the warm months.
The city encourages community members to visit the upgraded parks once renovations are complete and take advantage of the new amenities designed to promote healthy, active lifestyles.
