This morning in Upper Arlington, has taken a hit from the severe cold snap gripping the region. UA Parks & Rec has announced a series of cancellations and closures that will undoubtedly impact residents looking to participate in regular recreational routines. In a statement released on the City of Upper Arlington's website, all programs set for today's morning have been suspended until at least Noon.
The elderly community, often the most vulnerable during such frigid conditions, will find the Upper Arlington Senior Center shuttered for all morning programs, activities, and events. Yet, in a scheduling twist, the Senior Center's offices in Building 3 remain a beacon in the cold, open to assist patrons with telephone and in-person registrations for UA Stage. This limited operation suggests not all is lost for those looking to stay connected through the arts.
Parents and citizens should note that regular Parks & Rec programs and classes before midday won't run. The Senior Center, though, will resurrect its activities later in the day, with entire operations resuming at Noon. Planned activities for the afternoon and evening are set to go ahead without a hitch, save for those that would occupy Upper Arlington Schools' premises.
As always, weather-related adjustments to community programs tend to ripple through schedules, leaving residents searching for clarity. For those seeking the latest on facility operations and potentially rescheduled programming, the city advises dialing 614-583-5300. A number worth calling before stepping out into the cold that has, with its icy grip, taken a day of activities from beneath the warmth of community engagement.
