In a straightforward nod to the civic duty of supporting democracy, Pittsburgh's Citiparks has announced that several recreation and senior centers will transform into polling locations on Election Day. According to an official post from the City of Pittsburgh, general services at these facilities will be suspended tomorrow to accommodate voters.
Specifically, the Beechview and Hazelwood Healthy Active Living Senior Centers, along with six recreation centers—the Ammon, Arlington, Brookline, Paulson, Warrington, and West Penn centers—will not offer their usual programming.
However, not all Citipark sites will shutter their doors to regular activities. Greenfield, Mount Washington, South Side, and Sheraden Healthy Active Living Senior Centers will continue to provide lunch and limited activities while doubling as election polling stations.
Citizens can expect a return to normalcy the following day when normal operations will resume on Wednesday. However, it is important to note that the Phillips Rec Center will continue to be closed, undergoing a renovation project that predates the election.
