Heads up for those planning on getting any city-related tasks done over the holidays—Brooklyn Park officials have announced the holiday hours for city buildings, and you'll want to mark your calendars. Whether you need to visit City Hall, the DMV, the Community Activity Center, or other operations and maintenance buildings, make a note that these facilities will be taking a holiday break too.
According to a bulletin released on December 19th by Brooklyn Park's government website, City Hall and the DMV are set to close December 24-26 and on January 1st, so if your driver’s license is expiring or you have permits to pull, plan to do it before or after these dates, they will be closed and that means no last-minute holiday miracles on that front.
For those looking to engage in community events or seeking leisure at the Community Activity Center, it's the same deal—doors will be shut December 24 and 25, and again on New Year’s Day. Families and fitness enthusiasts should consider alternative venues or at-home activities during these closures.
Those in need of city maintenance services will face a similar schedule with Operations and Maintenance buildings taking off December 24, 25, and 26, and ringing in the New Year by remaining closed on January 1st, make sure you don't wait until the last minute to address any concerns that might require the city's services or else you’ll find yourself stuck until they reopen.
Among all city facilities, the Zanewood Recreation Center will experience the lengthiest holiday hiatus, not resuming operations until January 3r. The rec center will be closed starting December 24 through January 2, an extended break that will surely impact programs and community activities regularly held at the facility.
Residents are encouraged to manage their city-related errands around these dates to avoid any inconvenience. Keep in mind that essential services such as police and fire departments will continue to operate, as public safety remains a top priority throughout the holiday season.
