Salem Rotary Club members gather in the open field slated to become Rotary Recreation Area in Waterworth Memorial Park. As part of itâs 100th anniversary, the club donated $50,000 to the Salem Parks Department to develop the land located just north of the Center Circle indoor soccer field near the Salem Community Center.
SALEM Salem Rotary celebrated 100 years of giving with a new gift Tuesday: $50,000 for the city parks to establish Rotary Recreation Area.
Introduced as “a multigenerational, multifunctional family gathering place to socialize, practice sporting skills, and stay fit,” the Rotary Recreation Area will be located on a 1-acre patch of land in Waterworth Memorial Park.

SALEM Parks Director Shane Franks said he’s received nothing but strong support for a project to upgrade Centennial Park lights to LED.
Franks discussed the project during a public hearing held Wednesday night regarding the grant being sought to help pay for the lighting upgrade.
The Salem Department of Parks and Recreation is applying for a NatureWorks grant of up to $10,000 through the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. The grant would cover 75 percent of the cost and the parks department would need to fund the other 25 percent.
Franks said he received an initial quote of $7,355 from YESCO Electrical Supply in Columbiana for at least 38 lights, but he asked them to add two more so the quote will be updated for 40 lights.
