DEPARTMENT FAQ’s

When Can I Register?
What happens if a class fills?
Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis and
can be done online at www.norwoodma.gov or in
person. Registrations begin on Wednesday, February
12th and Thursday, February 13th for summer
programs (during/after our Summer Program Fair).
Specific forms and deadlines can be found online with
information for that individual program.
Non-residents may join designated classes at the
Norwood Recreation Department. Non-residents
may register at an additional fee one week prior to
class for only classes that state non-resident rates.
Should programs become filled, you can be placed on a
waiting list. We will try to offer additional spots
whenever possible. People will be contacted as soon as
a spot opens.
Will I be sent a confirmation?
We do not send or call to confirm registrations.
Consider your registration accepted and report to your
class unless the Department notifies you of a
cancellation.
What happens if my check is returned?
There is a $25 penalty fee payable to the Town of
Norwood for returned checks.
Town Elections
The gym will be closed 1:00pm Friday, April 4th for the
April 7th election to allow for set up. If elections fall
on a Monday, the gymnasium will close the Friday
prior at 1:00pm.
You Snooze… We all lose!
While participants may be inclined to wait until the
last minute to register for a program, please note that
nothing stops a program in its tracks faster than lack
of enrollment. If the program doesn’t reach minimum
enrollment numbers, then we must cancel the
program. Generally, this decision is made a few days
prior to the start of the first class. To ensure classes
and events you enjoy continue, please remember to
register as soon as possible.
What happens if an individual class is
cancelled?
Every attempt will be made to reschedule a class that
has been cancelled for inclement weather, instructor
absence or holiday. We are not responsible for making
up classes that are missed due to the participant’s
inability to attend.
Can I drop out of a class and request a
refund?
You may request a full refund if a program is cancelled,
or you withdraw from a class one week prior to the
start of the program. Please see the NEW summer
guidelines in the Summer Program section for refund
requests for summer.
If you request to withdraw from a class after that, you
are not eligible for a refund UNLESS your spot can be
filled by someone on the waitlist prior to the start of
the class.
Refunds will be processed immediately upon request
and will take 3-4 weeks to get a check mailed from the
town.
Do I need to sign a photo release?
The Department reserves the right to photograph/film
program participants for publicity purposes. Smile! You
just may be on the cover of the Program Guide.
How do I reserve an athletic field?
All groups requesting to use an athletic field must
complete a Field Permit Request Form. Any questions
Norwood Recreation Department is a proud member of: regarding field usage and availability, please contact
Howard Weinstein at 781.762.0466 or email

PARKS AND ATHLETIC FIELDS
38
Norwood is experiencing an overwhelming number of requests for field space for many youth and adult sports, with many parks
seeing an increase in the number of people, cars, and trash. In order to keep our children and parks safe, we ask that everyone
visiting a Norwood park or field follow these guidelines:
•
Pick up trash and dispose of properly. Trash attracts bees and wild animals.
• Trash is picked up regularly. If barrels are full, please remove your trash from the site. Some school sites do not have barrels due to the number of allergies to bees.
•
Report any unsafe field conditions immediately to a league supervisor or the Recreation Department.
Park in designated areas. If parking on the street is necessary, park in a manner that will allow emergency vehicles to access the
fields and neighboring homes. Parking in crosswalks and in front of fire hydrants is illegal and unsafe. Be considerate of the neighbors, leaving enough room for access to driveways and do not park on their lawns.
RESERVING AN ATHLETIC FIELD
All groups requesting to use an athletic field must come down to the Civic Center and fill out a field request form. Any questions,
please contact Howard Weinstein at 781-762-0466 or email [email protected].
DOG ORDINANCE: In order to keep our parks clean and enjoyable for all, please remember if you are a dog owner, please keep
your dog on a leash and clean up after your pet. Please check park specific postings.
