We strive to provide the most accurate information possible. However, some program details may change after the document goes to print.

The activities and fees listed in the Recreation Guide are contingent upon approval of the City of Salem FY 2024-25 budget.

Once the Recreation Guide has gone to print, should changes occur, the most current information will exist in the online registration system, https://egov.cityofsalem.net/parksrec.
