As the City of Denton gears up for the Fourth of July, residents should note some changes to the local facilities' operating hours, as reported by the city's official announcement. Those planning to travel should be aware that the administrative offices of the Denton Airport will not be operating on Friday, July 4, although the air traffic control tower will maintain its vigil from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. For those who might find themselves needing the services of the Airport Operations, support is available around the clock at (940) 349-7722.
For animal lovers, the closure of Animal Services and the Linda McNatt Animal Care & Adoption Center during the holiday warrants attention. Published by the official City of Denton website, residents can report non-emergencies by dialing (940) 349-8181, and emergencies should go through the usual 911 call. Meanwhile, water enthusiasts can rejoice as Water Works Park, the Civic Center Pool, and the Denton Natatorium will keep their doors open for those seeking a splash during the celebrations.
Public safety is still at the forefront, despite the festivities, with the City ensuring all personnel will remain on duty over the holiday period. The non-emergency number for the Denton Police Department, should any concerns arise, stands ready at (940) 349-8181. While the Municipal Courts will take a breather on the Fourth, citizens need not worry about delays in justice as the online options and automated phone payments will continue to function 24/7, as stated in the city's announcement.
Attractions such as Water Works Park and the Civic Center Pool aren't the only amenities to remain accessible; parks, including North Lakes Driving Range, will welcome visitors from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., despite the closures of other Recreation Centers throughout the city. As the Denton Civic Center, along with several others, will pause operations, regular resumption will take place on the day following the holiday with normal enthusiasm.
