Henderson’s city services will keep a mostly normal schedule through the holiday week.

Henderson City Hall will be closed on Monday, December 26 and Monday, January 2 in observance of legal holidays. Police, fire and emergency services will continue to work regular schedules.

City Hall will be open Tuesday, December 27 through Thursday, December 29 during normal business hours of 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Other city non-recreation facilities will be open these same days and hours, including Animal Care and Control and Henderson Municipal Court.

Registration for City of Henderson Parks and Recreation Department fall classes, events and programs opens at 5 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 15. People may register online, by mail, using a City of Henderson self-serve kiosk located at City Hall, Black Mountain Recreation Center, and Henderson Multigenerational Center, or in person at any recreation center. Early registration is recommended as many classes fill up quickly.

“Previously we had different registration dates depending on the method of enrollment,” said Kim Becker, Communications & Marketing supervisor, City of Henderson Parks and Recreation Department. “While more than 95 percent of our patrons register online, there are some who don’t have a credit or debit card or don’t have online access so they must register by mail or in person. Having a single start date for all registration methods now ensures everyone has an equal opportunity to sign up for the programs they want.”

Henderson’s lifeguards play an important role in keeping the community safe. The City of Henderson Parks and Recreation Department is recognizing these unsung heroes July 9 with Love Your Lifeguard Day.

Residents are invited to stop by during open swim hours at all City of Henderson pools. Regular daily admission ($1-$3 per person) applies.

For all ages, the event includes lifesaving demonstrations, information about classes and lifeguard training, and question-and-answer sessions with the City’s lifeguard team. For kids, the event features relay races, safety swims, and the chance to dress up like a lifeguard for a photo opportunity. For lifeguards, it’s the chance to get a little “love” for a job well done.
