These four centers will provide residents with a safe, air-conditioned environment to escape the heat on Saturday from 12 PM – 6 PM:

Due to a scheduled event taking place at Beechview Healthy Active Living Community Center, that site will not serve as cooling center on Saturday. 

All residents are encouraged to take precautions during periods of extreme heat, especially older adults, young children, and those with underlying health conditions.  

Note: CitiParks and the City of Pittsburgh will typically activate cooling centers when the forecasted highs are predicted to be above 90 degrees.
