Parks Department furlough days

March 10th, 2010 by Doree

Seattle Parks and Recreation is taking another furlough day this Friday to help fill the budget gap. That means all community centers, swimming pools, and environmental learning centers will be closed. (Child care and late-night programs will still operate at the community centers.)

On Monday, March 15, Park Department administrative offices (communications, correspondence, Park Board support, web management, public outreach, human resources, finance and administration) will be closed.

Golf courses will operate as usual, as will the Seattle Aquarium.
