Field of Dreams Community
Park and Playground
The Field of Dreams is a community park and playground located on Geremonty Drive in Salem, NH. It has been a dream come true for the many volunteers who made this park possible. There is a playground with a dedicated toddler area, as well as areas for older children. Other features of the park include a fitness trail, walking/hiking trails, a stage for performances and picnic areas for families to enjoy the nice weather and the park. There is also a newly-reconstructed volleyball court.
A New Pavilion for the Field of Dreams
As we celebrate our 25th Anniversary this summer, we have begun a capital campaign to replace the current stage with a new pavilion.
Our current stage lacks any overhead roofing element. Performers and their equipment are frequently at risk of threatening weather and we’re forced to cancel our concerts. Unfortunately, we have had to cancel many events due to the chance of rain. We have looked into adding a roof covering to our existing stage, however the existing stage structure is unable to support it.
We feel the amenities offered at our park should be available to everyone. Our current stage is not handicap-accessible. It’s important for us to construct a ramp that would allow the handicap access to the stage, just like everyone else.
We have designed a new pavilion to take the place of the old stage and are now immersed into the fund-raising effort. To bring our ideas to life, we utilized the talents of a registered architect, who is also on our board.
We utilized the services of a Construction Cost Estimator to help us identify the probable cost of construction. To date, we have raised more than 10% of the cost of the estimated cost of this project. Local businesses, construction material suppliers, and builders have offered to donate materials and their services to aid in the construction effort. We will achieve our fund-raising goals through these donations, grants, and a sponsorship program.
