Annapolis Cooling Center Open Through Sunday

ANNAPOLIS, MD – The City of Annapolis opened the Pip Moyer Recreation Center Thursday as a cooling center and it will remain open through Sunday.

Excessive heat and humidity are in the forecast for several days, so the Pip Moyer will be open as a Cooling Center:
• Thursday, August 11 from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.
• Friday, August 12 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
• Saturday, August 13 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
• Sunday, August 14 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The center is located at 273 Hilltop Lane in Annapolis and residents using the facility as a cooling center will not have access to recreation activities.

A prolonged period of hot temperatures and high humidity will combine to create a situation where heat illnesses are possible. If you have neighbors or know of someone who lives without air conditioning, please check on them or offer them a cooler place to stay. A cool indoor location is the best defense against heat related illness.

Never leave children or pets unattended in vehicles. Temperatures inside the vehicle can rapidly climb to 130 degrees.
