Increased Traffic Enforcement coming in June
Finally, after much effort, our traffic enforcement motorcycle is ready to start patrolling here in Normandy Park!
Beginning Thursday, June 6th, weather dependent, you are likely to see a police motorcycle enforcing traffic laws including speeding throughout Normandy Park. This new tool will be especially useful in the areas that are difficult to enforce using a standard police car. Please obey the speed limit or our new police motorcycle unit will likely be making your acquaintance shortly!
Public Art Reception, Friday, June 7th
The Art Commission works diligently to bring art to the community. This includes working with local artists and regularly displaying art in the Council Chambers at City Hall. The display rotates quarterly, and the public is always welcome to view the art. If you would like to see the latest exhibition, join us this upcoming Friday evening.
A reception is being held for the original art by Northwest artist Jeanne Hocker-Nordquist. The event will also include a musical performance by The Tradewinds. Join the fun on Friday, June 7th from 7:00 to 9:00 pm in the City Hall Council Chambers to celebrate local art!
If you have any questions, please get in touch with me at aarrington@normandyparkwa.gov. Have a great week!

Summer is here, and we are all enjoying the fantastic sunny weather. When considering what adventure the family will have next, be sure to include a visit to all the Normandy Park parks. The City of Normandy Park has over 100 acres of parkland, all of which are open to the public. Currently, the City manages seven named parks, one named preserve, and a variety of open spaces. Each provides a variety of recreation amenities and experiences for the Normandy Park community to enjoy.

The City of Normandy Park is considering the construction of a new multi-use sport court. This court would focus on pickleball and basketball and is championed by the Normandy Park Metropolitan Parks District (or City Council).
Some fun facts about the Normandy Park Metropolitan Parks District (MPD):
It was formed in 2009 when voters approved the formation of a metropolitan park district.
The MPD has the authority to create, manage, control, improve, maintain, and acquire parks and recreational facilities.
The City Council of Normandy Park is authorized to serve as the board of metropolitan park commissioners.
The MPD can assess Normandy Park property owners a levy to support the City’s parks.
The City of Normandy Park owns, operates, and maintains all the parks. The MPD is important because it financially covers the costs of these efforts.
