Halloween Safety Tips
As we prepare for Halloween on Tuesday, October 31st, I wanted to provide some safety tips for everyone.
- Adults should accompany young children.
- Make sure to carry a flashlight since it will get dark early.
- Stay within the neighborhood and only visit well-lit homes you know.
- Make sure children can see well through face masks.
- Wear light-colored clothing that is short enough to prevent tripping, and add reflective tape to the costume’s sides, front, and back if possible.
- Watch for traffic!
- Only give and accept wrapped or packaged candy.
- Examine all candy before allowing children to eat it.
- Keep costumed children away from pets. The pet may not recognize the child and become frightened.
- Avoid hard plastic or wood props such as daggers or swords. Substitute with foam rubber, which is soft and flexible.
Stay safe, and have fun on Tuesday!
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.
Weekly Report – July 12, 2024
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.
