The District Department of Parks and Recreation opened five outdoor pools and two indoor pools today because of the heat, city officials said. The city also opened two cooling centers in the lobbies of government buildings where the public can go cool off in the air conditioning and drink a glass of water.
The outdoor pools opened especially today are:
Anacostia and Oxon Run pools in Southeast; Banneker pool in Northwest; Kelly Miller and Harry Thomas pools in Northeast.
The indoor pools opened today are the Takoma pool in Northwest and the William Rumsey Sr. Aquatic Center in Southeast.
The city has also opened the lobbies of two government buildings to the public today where people can go cool off and drink some cold water. They are the Reeves Municipal Center at 2000 14th St. NW and One Judiciary Square at 441 4th St. NW.
City spokesperson Jo'Ellen Countee said a white city van was also cruising the streets of the city with cold water for the homeless.
