Quick Facts:
Location: Lancaster Drive north of Silverton Road, Salem, Ore.
Opened: About 1974
Home team: Salem Dodgers, Northwest League (1989); Chemeketa College Storm, Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges
Salem teams played in the Northwest League from 1977 to 1989, but prior to 1989 teams played at a park that apparently no longer exists. The Salem Dodgers played one season here at Chemeketa Community College before moving to Parker Field in Yakima, where they took on the old Bears name while remaining a Dodgers farm club.
I was not able to get into Chemeketa Community College’s field on my 2006 visit.
