The city of San Diego released its listing of closures for Christmas Day 2017.
A walk around Balboa Park may be a nice Christmas Day outing but don’t expect to get into any of the museums.
Most cultural attractions in Balboa Park will be closed, including museums. All public buildings in the park will be closed including Balboa Park Activity Center, Botanical Building, Casa del Prado, Municipal Gym and War Memorial Building.
You can enjoy Robb Field Skate Park, Rancho Peñasquitos Skate Park, Carmel Valley Skate Park, Bill and Maxine Wilson Skate Park and the Charles L. Lewis III Memorial Skate Park as they will all be open Monday.
If you want to stop by San Vicente Reservoir to spend some time with your family, the area will be open a half-hour before sunrise to sunset.
If you’re thinking about getting in a round of golf on Christmas Day, you’re in luck. Torrey Pines and Balboa golf courses will be open until 3 p.m. Mission Bay golf course will be open until 5 p.m.
But keep in mind that all city of San Diego administrative offices will be closed on Monday, Dec. 25.
