Class meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays, at Oviatt gym (6pm start) or Multi-purpose room (7pm start). Times will vary depending on location due to school activities. We also offer our Little Dragon program designed for children ages 5 to 7. Little Dragons meet twice a week. This program is run concurrently with the beginning class. All programs consist of hand and foot techniques, forms, self-defense, and lessons and instructions on topics such as respect, self-discipline, and perseverance.

City of Norwalk Parks and Recreation Receives Grant From Warren County Philanthropic Partnership
The contribution to the foundation was made possible by the Iowa General Assembly. In 2004 the Iowa legislature passed several bills to encourage foundation building and community based philanthropy. Among these measures was H>F> 2032 which provide that non-gambling counties, initiating a county-side community foundation would be eligible to receive one half of one percent of the state’s gross gambling tax receipts. Twenty-one grant applications were received and 9 organizations across Warren County from Norwalk, Milo, Indianola, New Virginia, and Carlisle, shared in the funding allocations.

Norwalk Parks and Rec has received a $5,000 grant from Warren County Philanthropic Partnership. Grant funds will help to achieve the purchase of a rider field painting machine to be jointly shared with the Norwalk Community School District. “Both entities have numerous soccer, football, and practice fields to be painted. With the number of youth participating in these sports, this should help reduce the manpower and labor for painting these fields throughout the year,� said Nancy Kuehl, Norwalk Parks and Rec Director. The Warren County Partnership was organized to promote and enhance community based philanthropy in Warren county. The WCPP recently received a state award to facilitate endowment building and grantmaking.
