Norwalk officials described recent and planned park investments intended to improve safety, recreation and drainage across the city.
Zimmerman Park, the city said, now features brighter lighting after a recent renovation to the softball fields; the park also offers fitness equipment, three softball fields, a playground, a half basketball court, picnic areas, on‑site cameras and free Wi‑Fi. City remarks emphasized safety and asked residents to report park issues via the Norwalk Connects app.
Hermosillo Park, the presentation said, will undergo one of the city's largest park rehabilitations. Plans include an underground infiltration system to help manage stormwater and new construction above it that will feature the city's first synthetic turf soccer fields, plus renovated playgrounds and on‑site recreation staff. The city directed residents to myfuturepark.org for more project details.
Officials did not announce a construction start date or funding breakdown during the remarks; residents were encouraged to visit the project web page for updates and to continue using other city parks during construction.
