Fairview Park, Historic retreat center in Salem Township, Pennsylvania.
Located along Old Route 22, Fairview Park extends across 53 acres of land featuring recreational fields, gathering spaces, and natural landscapes in Westmoreland County.
The Monongahela Valley Sunday School Association developed Fairview Park in 1945 as a recreational space during a period of racial segregation in the United States.
The park served the African American community with various attractions including a roller coaster, merry-go-round, skating rink, swimming pool, and sports facilities.
The Fairview Park Association organizes an Annual Picnic event on the third Saturday of August, welcoming visitors from surrounding communities.
The National Register of Historic Places recognized Fairview Park in 2010 for its role as an African American spiritual and recreational gathering space.
