Definition of a Family For the purpose of purchasing family pool passes, or receiving a family discount for our Tae Kwon Do program, a family is defined as all immediate family members residing at the same street address. This would include children of divorced parents who have joint custody, stepchildren, and foster children. Babysitters, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and ex-spouses are not considered immediate family members unless they appear on the same federal income tax return.

Vandalism Each year Norwalk taxpayers must cover the cost of repairing and replacing park facilities that have been willfully damaged or destroyed. Since the parks are unsupervised, it is difficult for park staff to catch the vandals who cause this damage. You can assist by reporting any act of vandalism to the Norwalk Parks and Recreation Department at 981-9206 or the Norwalk Police Department at 222-3321 (dispatch). Violators will be prosecuted.

Typos, Errors, Oops, We Goofed From time-to-time, there may be an error in days, times, fees, etc, in the brochure. If so the staff will take every step to correct the situation in a timely and efficient manner. Thank you for your patience and understanding should these situations arise.
