Allegheny County staff can look forward to a long weekend as the Labor Day holiday sees the closure of all county offices on Monday, September 2. The unanimous shutdown encompasses the independently elected offices, the Courts, and the County Council. Allegheny County announced the closures, stating that Hartwood Acres Mansion will also not be accessible on this day. Following the holiday, normal operations are set to resume on Tuesday, September 3. The information was officially shared on Allegheny County's website.
To celebrate, the North, Settlers Cabin and Boyce Park pools will close early at 3 p.m. to make space for the annual Pooches in the Pool event. In a somewhat unexpected move, the North Park pool obstacle course will not be open starting this weekend. South Park Wave Pool, on the other hand, will operate within its normal business hours. Additionally, spray parks are slated to be fully operational from 10 am to 8 pm, weather and conditions allowing. This information comes directly from county advisories.
Avid golfers will be pleased to find all county golf courses up and running during the holiday, weather permitting, of course. For details on specific courses or to confirm tee times, golfers can reach out directly via the phone numbers listed for each location: North Park Golf Course at 724-935-1967, South Park Golf Course at 412-835-3545, among others provided by the county communication.
Adding to the Labor Day festivities, Deer Lakes Park plans to host a car cruise from 10 am to 2 pm. This event and others, along with all changes in park facility schedules, can best be tracked by following Allegheny County Parks on Facebook or reaching out to the area's respective contact points.
