Park Norwalk Introduces City-Wide 15-Minute On-Street Free Parking!

Great news for Norwalk residents and visitors! The City of Norwalk, Connecticut, and Park Norwalk are announcing the launch of a city-wide 15-minute free on-street parking initiative. This new program aims to enhance convenience for short-term parking needs and support local businesses throughout Norwalk, CT.

How It Works

The free parking will be available Monday through Saturday, from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM. To access this option, customers must go to multi-space meters at any Norwalk Parking Authority paid on-street space and enter their plate number. Failure to follow these steps will render the 15-minute parking option invalid and may result in a parking violation. Customers are limited to one 15-minute free parking session per 24 hours per plate, per parking zone.

  • License Plate Recognition: The free parking sessions will be tracked using license plate numbers.
  • One Free Session Per 24 Hours per Zone: Residents and visitors are allowed one free 15-minute parking session per zone per day.
  • Easy to Use: Simply enter your license plate number at the parking kiosk.

Benefits for Norwalk

This initiative is part of Park Norwalk’s ongoing efforts to improve the parking experience and support local economic growth. The 15-minute free parking option offers several benefits:

  • Encourages Quick Stops: Ideal for quick errands, pick-ups, or drop-offs.
  • Supports Local Businesses: It makes patronizing shops and restaurants easier for customers.
  • Improves Traffic Flow: Reduces congestion caused by drivers circling for available parking
