Residents of New Braunfels planning their Juneteenth celebrations may need to take note of the changes in city services for the holiday. According to an announcement from the City of New Braunfels, a number of facilities will shut their doors in observance of the holiday that marks the end of slavery in United States.
The list of closures set for Thursday, June 19, is extensive, covering major community structures which include the City Hall, Municipal Court, and both branches of the Public Library. The Civic & Convention Center, along with Parks & Recreation administrative offices, will also take a day off. However, the city ensures that the garbage, brush, and recycling collection will not be affected, running on their regular schedule. A relief for those concerned about waste management amid the holiday pause.
Outdoor enthusiasts and golf aficionados will be glad to hear that there are no plans to alter the schedule for Das Rec or the Landa Park Golf Course at Comal Springs, as they remain open for residents and visitors looking for some leisure activities on that day. The Fischer Park Nature Education Center, catering to the curiosity of naturalist minds, will not be welcoming guests either, considering the holiday.
For those who are looking to clear out their clutter, it may serve well to remember that the City Recycling Center is closing as part of the commemorations. In preparing for these temporary shutdowns, citizens are encouraged to visit the New Braunfels website for information on other specific facilities or amenities that may be impacted. Assisting with inquiries, the city offers a helpline at 830-221-4000, ready to bridge the gaps left by the closed offices.
