Norman residents, take note: City administrative offices will be taking a breather this Memorial Day. As reported by the City of Norman's official news release, operations will pause on Monday, May 26, in observance of the national holiday. Services and hours for various departments during the holiday have been laid out for the public's convenience.
In a move that some might find surprising given the day off, trash and recycling won't be taking a holiday. According to the City of Norman announcement, sanitation services will continue without interruption. The Transfer Station at 3901 Chautauqua Avenue and the Compost Facility at 398 Bratcher Miner Road will remain open for their usual hours.
Meanwhile, if you're looking to celebrate Memorial Day with some activities, the Westwood Family Aquatic Center, Tennis Center, and Golf Course maintain open doors as per usual, while the Young Family Athletic Center has abbreviated hours from noon to 6 p.m. on the day. These details were shared for those interested in a splash or swing on the holiday. For further info and planning, the city encourages a visit to their parks and recreation page online.
City transit systems, however, will be taking the day off to observe Memorial Day, which includes EMBARK Norman public transit services and Norman On-Demand. The city has noted that normal service will resume post-holiday on May 27. For updates or route planning, riders should check out their app or visit the website.
Folks needing assistance from the Norman Police Department Records Division or in need to visit Norman Animal Welfare should plan accordingly. Both will be closed on Memorial Day, with operations resuming the following Tuesday.
