Parking Enforcement Begins At Norwalk Beaches, Some Parks

NORWALK, CT — The city will start enforcing parking requirements at its beaches and highly frequented parks this week as beach season officially kicks off Monday in Norwalk.

According to a news release provided by the city, parking enforcement will take place at a number of places in Norwalk, including Calf Pasture Beach, Shady Beach, Cranbury Park, Taylor Farm Park and Veterans Park.

Each year, Norwalk residents must verify their license plate number in the city's system to guarantee they can park for free at the city's beaches and most popular parks from May 15 to Oct. 15 to ensure residents are given parking priority during peak visitation months, according to the city.

Following recent construction work on a new parking lot at Calf Pasture Beach, the city has expanded resident-only parking and can now accommodate 379 resident-only and 150 nonresident vehicles. This brings the total number of resident-only parking spaces at Calf Pasture and Shady Beach to nearly 650, according to the city.

Residents, including those who may have a vehicle registered in another town or city, can verify their vehicle here.

All non-resident parking at the city's beaches and parks is first come, first served. Beach parking fees for non-residents is $42/per car on weekdays before 5 p.m., $30/per car after 5 p.m. and $72/per car on Saturday and Sunday.

Non-residents can access day parking passes on the ParkMobile app or at two pay stations at Calf Pasture Beach. The first pay station is on the main sidewalk next to the new pedestrian walkway. The second is in the new non-resident parking area.

Day parking passes can be purchased on the ParkMobile app or by calling 877-727-5730 and using Beach Zone #2035.
