According to an announcement posted by the City of Garland, city offices, including utilities, tax, and recreation, will be shutting their doors this Thursday to mark the holiday.
The Bradfield Pool and its kid-seducing splash pad schedule are up for viewing at the Garland Aquatics homepage for those who prefer a dip over a dynamite display. And for golf enthusiasts, the Firewheel Golf Park is keeping its greens open, steadfast through the holiday in maintaining its regular hours.
Even as the city indulges in the day commemorating the nation's birth, some services remain steadfast. "The Hinton Landfill will remain open Thursday, July 4", announced by the City of Garland. This means those looking to unload refuse won't have to alter their plans. Moreover, the holiday won't put a kink in the city’s waste management as there will be "no disruption to trash or recycling collection."
