This is my go-to park to train with my son! Salem Pond Park is right next to Salem Elementary and Salem Middle School. It includes a nice kid-friendly park and a half mile trail that wraps around a small pond and lake. The trail is really refreshing and is an excellent place to get your steps in. Salem Pond Park also has a 9v9 soccer fields with 2 9v9 nets and 4 smaller nets. They also have lacrosse nets. This is an excellent park!

Love this park. Very quaint and has a little something for the whole family. Park is very cute and there is a small fishing pond. The turf field is not full sized but has plenty of lines for soccer, boys lacrosse, and girls lacrosse

Clean park. Fun for my youngest to enjoy their time. When it’s sunny, it’s super hot since there is no shade. The slides can get hot, so I would check just in case. It’s has trail/path that’s a mile long to walk/run. It has benches everywhere throughout the park. It has also a shaded area for parents to sit but it’s quite small. They have a soccer field there as well. They do have bathroom but we didn’t use them. We saw about 25 turtles that day, ducks, geese and beautiful cardinals throughout our walk. I would definitely go again!

It is a small park, has a well maintained soccer field, railroad theme kids play area, a trail around two small ponds. Ponds have turtles, small mammals etc. Restrooms are at the entrance of the park. Enough parking available.
