GREETINGS,
Happy New Year to you and your family! Town Hall will be closed Monday, January 17 for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday. Now that we are in a new calendar year, it is time to provide new proof of Greenwich residency for 2022 prior to registering for any activities, purchasing passes, or making facility reservations. Please visit www.greenwichct.gov/residency for details. Registration for many spring activities will begin on February 1, so make sure your residency is verified before then if you wish to register for spring activities.
As of Thursday, December 23, all individuals, (visitors and employees) regardless of vaccination status, are required to wear a face mask at all Town facilities including, but not limited to, Town Hall, the Bendheim Western Civic Center, Eastern Civic Center, the Dorothy Hamill Skating Rink and our smaller community centers. This is in the interest of public health and safety, and we appreciate your cooperation.
The Parks and Recreation Office at Town Hall is open to the public weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. We encourage you to make an appointment between 8 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Most business can be done online. Office staff are available by email; feel free to contact us.
Best regards,
