Cooling Centers
Glendale, CA - In anticipation of the upcoming heat wave, the City of Glendale Community Services & Parks Department is activating four community centers throughout the city as cooling centers from Friday, July 5, 2024, through Saturday, July 6, 2024.
The City of Glendale is highly encouraging those who do not have a cool place to be during the hottest time of the day to come to one of four community centers located throughout the city to beat the heat and cool off. Pets are allowed but must be kept on a leash at all times. For more information and translations on how to beat the heat, visit our website GlendaleCA.gov/BeatTheHeat.
We also have various options to keep cool through water play. Our splash pad at Cerritos Park is open 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM daily, our wading pools are open to the public on alternating days at Dunsmore Park, Brand Park, Glenoaks Park and Palmer Park, and our Pacific Community Pool is open daily for recreation swim. You can learn more about each of these options and the hours of operation by going to our aquatics’ website GlendaleAquatics.org.

If you plan to be outdoors, please take precautions to protect yourself from the sun and heat.
- Avoid the sun from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM when the burning rays are strongest.
- Reduce physical activity.
- Wear a wide-brimmed hat and light-colored, lightweight, loose-fitting clothes when you are outdoors.
- Avoid hot, heavy meals that include proteins.
- Set your air conditioner between 75° to 80°. If you don’t have air-conditioning, take a cool shower twice a day.
- Drink plenty of fluids, even if you are not thirsty. Avoid alcohol and caffeine.
- Use sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15 if you need to be in the sun.
- Stay in shade whenever working outdoors.
- Don’t forget about your pets; they need plenty of water and shade.
Symptoms of dehydration and heat cramps include dizziness, fatigue, faintness, headaches, rapid heartbeat, muscle cramps and increased thirst. Anyone experiencing these symptoms should seek immediate medical attention or call 911.
