Morningside Neighborhood Association 1976 - 2023

In 2016 the City of Salem purchased 26-plus acres from Sustainable Fairview Associates...once was the Fairview Training Center. Included in the deal is to create a space where visitors can learn about the history of the site, etc.. A master plan was adopted in June, 2016. Park amenities include trails, sports fields, sports court all at once.

In 2021 Morningside applied for grants with City of Salem Parks Improvement Fund and Salem Park Foundation. The SPIF Grant 2020-22 was awarded to Morningside to start with and build soft trails, signage, identified in the FV Phase One plan. Also, Salem Parks Foundation grant for a new bench and Mutt-Mitt dispenser was also awarded.
