With temperatures in the coming days hovering in the 90s, the City of Beech Grove announced today that two cooling centers will be available for residents, and will remain available throughout the summer.
The cooling centers will be activated starting Monday, June 23. Hours and locations are:

- 8 a.m. – 4 p.m., Monday through Friday
- Hornet Park Community Center, 5245 Hornet Ave.

“When hot weather hits, it’s important our residents know they have a safe place to go and cool off, particularly during the hottest part of the day,” said Mayor James Coffman. “It’s also a good time to check in on family, friends and neighbors, especially older adults. We are a community who looks out for each other, and I know our residents will do just that in the coming days and weeks.”
