Silver Lake Elementary School at 245 Silver Lake Street closed in 2009 and, as of recent reporting, the building is being converted by a private developer into a dozen market-rate apartments. Any former playground on the site should now be treated as part of a private residential redevelopment, not a public facility.
What to expect
Dogs
A dog in any public place in Athol must be effectively restrained by a chain or leash strong enough to hold it, or be under the handler's immediate and effective voice control. Posted signs at the site take precedence.
