Information on Cooling Centers

Looking for a comfortable place to stay cool this summer? Our senior centers serve as cooling centers, providing older adults with a safe, air-conditioned space to escape the heat, relax, connect with others, and participate in engaging activities throughout the season.

As temperatures rise, remember to take steps to stay safe while enjoying City facilities. Drink plenty of water, wear lightweight clothing, take breaks in shaded or air-conditioned areas, and avoid prolonged sun exposure during the hottest parts of the day. Residents are encouraged to take advantage of the many cool, comfortable spaces available at City facilities to beat the heat while participating in programs, activities, or simply relaxing. Stay cool, stay hydrated, and have a safe summer! Complimentary bottled water, courtesy of Stater Bros., and hydration refill stations are available at both facilities to help visitors stay refreshed during their visit.
