In observance of Veteran’s Day, the City of Tulsa will close several municipal facilities on Wednesday, November 11. The closures include City Hall, the Municipal Court, the Mulch Site, the Household Pollutant Collection Facility, Oxley Visitor Center, and the Tulsa Parks Recreation Center. These closures allow city employees to honor the nation’s veterans while ensuring that essential services remain uninterrupted.
Essential Services Continue Uninterrupted
City officials emphasized that public safety and mission‑critical operations will continue as normal. Trash collection, recycling pickup, and water‑sewer emergency response will be maintained throughout the holiday. Residents with urgent water or sewer issues can still reach the 24‑hour emergency lines at (918) 596‑9488 for water and (918) 586‑6999 for sewer.
Transit Adjustments
MetroLink Tulsa will operate its regular bus schedule on Veteran’s Day, but riders should note that the Denver Avenue and Midtown stations will be closed for the day. All other stations will remain open, and service frequency will not be altered.
Attractions Remaining Open
Several city‑run attractions will stay open for residents and visitors. These include Tulsa Animal Services, the Mohawk and Page Belcher Golf Courses, Oxley Trails, and the Tulsa Zoo. Families looking for recreational options can enjoy these venues while other municipal sites are closed.
How to Reach City Services
For non‑emergency inquiries, residents can submit service requests or general questions via email at [email protected] or through the 311 website. The Customer Care team will respond to messages when they return on Thursday.
Reminder of Veteran’s Day Significance
Veteran’s Day provides an opportunity for the community to recognize the sacrifices of those who have served in the United States armed forces. The city’s temporary closures reflect a shared respect for these men and women while still delivering the essential services that keep Tulsa running smoothly.
Residents are encouraged to plan accordingly, especially if they rely on the closed facilities for routine business. For any urgent needs, the emergency contact numbers remain active around the clock.
