Columbus City Swimming Pools Free Through Tuesday; Some Rec Center Hours Extended

The City of Columbus has extended the operating hours of four recreation centers to provide a place to cool off during the extreme heat. 

The Mayor's office says in an updated news release the Beatty, Far East, Westgate and Whestone rec centers are open until 9pm tonight and Tuesday evening. The other centers will close at 6pm.  The city has also waived the 50-cent entrance fee at municipal pools through Tuesday.
