Performance Pavilion

Since 2015, Field of Dreams, Inc., a non-profit park and playground in Salem, NH, has been working with RWH Architect to develop a design for a new Pavilion, replacing the more than 30-year-old existing wooden stage. The goal of the design was to generate a contemporary facility that will aesthetically fit within the naturally wooded site and be resistant to potential vandalism. The Pavilion will be fully handicap accessible, an important feature the existing stage is lacking. The proposed design includes a roof to protect equipment and performers in the case of threatening weather conditions. The park’s annual Summer Concert Series has a 30%-50% cancellation rate due to inclement weather, as there is no protection for the concert performers and equipment. Construction of the stage is scheduled to be completed by mid-August 2023.
