In a move that may alter some plans for Seattle's patriots and leisure-seekers, a significant chunk of the city's recreational amenities will shutter their doors this coming Memorial Day, the Seattle Parks and Recreation has announced. For those out of the loop, that's Monday, May 27, folks—mark it or risk the dismay of smacking into a "Closed" sign.

The city released a list of what's taking a day off, and here's the deal: community centers, no dice; teen centers, zip; environmental learning centers, nada; swimming if it's indoors, forget about it, and don't even think about small crafting your boats in Green Lake or rowing and sailing by Mount Baker. For those looking to serve an ace, the Amy Yee Tennis Center is also hitting pause, just like the Seattle Japanese Garden and Volunteer Park Conservatory which, by the by, rolls up the welcome mat every Monday anyway.

Not all hope is lost though—if you're itching to swing some clubs or splash around, a handful of facilities are waving the green flag. According to information obtained through an announcement posted on the Seattle Parks and Recreation's official blog, your silver linings include public parks, boat ramps for the sailors among you, and let's not forget the golf courses—Interbay, Jackson Park, Jefferson Park, and West Seattle are all game for your teeing pleasure.
