With the scorching summer temperatures on the rise, Salt Lake County is delighted to announce the commencement of the Cool Zone program, a collaborative effort between Salt Lake County Aging and Adult Services, The County Library, SLC Parks and Recreation, and the Salt Lake City Library. The program aims to provide relief from the heat and offer a variety of engaging activities for residents of all ages through October 15th.
Cool Zones can be found at numerous facilities conveniently located throughout the county, providing a welcome break for anyone seeking to escape the sizzling weather. These designated Cool Zones are open to the public, free of charge, and offer a great opportunity to cool down, stay hydrated, and explore the diverse range of programs available.
Furthermore, Salt Lake County Senior Centers are an excellent option for individuals aged 60 and above, offering a safe and friendly environment to relax and enjoy the facilities from 7 am to 4 pm.
“As the temperatures soar, we are so thankful that we can offer Cool Zones as cooling option for our residents,” said Salt Lake County Mayor Jenny Wilson, “by partnering with the County Library, SLCo Parks and Recreation, Aging and Adult Services, and the Salt Lake City Library, we aim to create welcoming spaces for everyone, regardless of age.”
Residents can easily locate their nearest Cool Zone facility by calling (385) 468-3200 or by using our Interactive Map to take advantage of this opportunity to stay cool, engaged, and connected with your community.
