Facility Use Card

Get the card that is the key to Norfolk’s recreation centers and pools, the Facility Use Card. Facility Use Cards are issued for participants five years of age and older to be used at all recreation centers and pools. Cards must be presented upon entering a facility. Facility Use Cards are not required for registration and attendance of fee-based classes, special events, meetings, or use of facilities on a rental basis.

Costs for Facility Use Cards (Checks or Money Orders only):

  • Youth (ages 5-17) $5.00
  • Adults (ages 18-64) $10.00
  • Non-Residents $50.00
  • Daily Guest Pass $2.00
  • Lost Card Replacement Fee $3.00
Family Plan (Checks or Money Orders only):
  • One Parent & One Child $12.00
  • One Parent & Up to Three Children $15.00
  • Two Parents & One Child $20.00
  • Family of Four or More $25.00

Cards are valid for one year from the purchase date. Two proofs of Norfolk residency will be required, as well as verification of date of birth. Youth will be given credit toward the purchase of their card based on academic performance. Each A is equal to a $1.00 discount; each B is equal to a $ .50 discount; and five A’s equal a free card.

Youth from families receiving any sort of assistance can request a fee waiver. A Fee Waiver Request form must be filled out by the parent, with proof of assistance (i.e., the identification number on a food stamp card or ADC card).

Facility Use Cards are issued at 1612 Willow Wood Drive in Lakewood Park. The hours for issuing cards are:

  • Monday through Friday · 11:30am – 1:30pm · 6:00pm – 8:00pm
