Open house set Oct. 20 for Salem sports complex

SALEM — Build it, and they will kick.

Area youths and adults are expected to play soccer and other games in the new Center Circle — Salem Indoor Sports Complex in Salem.

The “Center Circle” comes from the center of the field where most games begin, according to Mark Equizi, the executive director of the Salem Community Center.

“Salem Indoor Sports Complex” describes the location and the fact that it can and will be used for more than once sport.

Other uses are likely to include athletic camps, flag football, kickball, baseball practice, Frisbee leagues and possibly craft or similar shows.

The $2.2 million facility is all but completed. The Salem Community Foundation paid for the facility as a gift to the community for its Bicentennial and in recognition of the foundation’s 40th anniversary, both in 2006.

An open house will be from 9 a.m. to noon Oct. 20. Indoor soccer starts Nov. 10.
