Residents who need a warm place to stay overnight in Atlanta will have two city recreation centers available starting at 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 14. The City of Atlanta says the sites are scheduled to close at 10 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 15.
Central Park Recreation Center, at 400 Merritts Ave. NE, will shelter any resident seeking protection from the cold. Selena S. Butler Park and Recreation Center, at 98 William Holmes Borders Drive NE, will serve women and children only.
Free transportation to the warming centers will be available from the Gateway Center at 8 p.m. City officials say Fulton County will provide return trips there when the centers deactivate.
The activation schedule may change in response to updated National Weather Service forecasts, the city says.
