If you use an Apple product for online registration, it is suggested you use Mozilla Firefox as the search engine for best compatibility.

Signups continue as long as programs have space. Remember if we do not have minimum numbers by the deadlines, the program may be cancelled.  Register early so a good program doesn't "die" - REGISTER BEFORE DEADLINE DATES!  We will continue to accept registrations until programs are full or have already started.

We regret that the 54% recreation budget cuts in the past 3 years has resulted in some higher fees.  We remain commited to providing great programs at great value.  If you need assistance, please contact Dale Connor, Recreation Director

Mission Statement:  To provide leisure opportunities to citizens of Norwell for enrichment of mind, body, and quality of life.

We program leisure activities for all ages and interests. Program brochures are mailed to all Norwell residents four times each year -- Summer, Fall, Winter & Spring. Our seasonal brochure is now on-line on this site. We always welcome program ideas and are looking for instructors for our activities. Let us know if you have a talent or idea to share! We maintain a master schedule of usage for all the town's athletic fields and gymnasiums and the permit process starts at the Recreation Office.

The Recreation Department is a programming department, and although not responsible for facility improvements and maintenance, we support efforts to make improvements to athletic fields and facilities.  It should be a high priority so all athletes, young and older, recreational and competitive, can enjoy the best and safest facilities.

Town fields and grounds are maintained by the Tree & Grounds Department, please direct your questions to them, 781-659-8042.

Most Youth / Adult Sport Leagues are run by independent associations and are not under the Norwell Recreation's jurisdiction. They are always looking for volunteers to get involved. Your questions should be directed to the appropriate league contact website or person listed under the above link "Other Youth / Adult Organizations for Norwell".
