As temperatures drop, Atlanta officials have opened warming centers to provide residents with a safe, warm place. Each facility offers shelter, with locations and transportation details already available.
The first warming center will open at Central Park Recreation Center, 400 Merritts Ave. NE, Atlanta 30308, according to the City of Atlanta’s website. The Old Adamsville Recreation Center, 3404 Delmar Ln NW, Atlanta 30331, will also be available for residents seeking shelter from the cold. Both facilities aim to provide essential services as temperatures drop.
Transportation to the warming centers has been arranged. Buses will depart nightly at 8:00 p.m. from the Gateway Center to the designated facilities. When the centers close, Fulton County will provide return trips to the Gateway Center. This ensures residents have safe access to shelter from the cold.
City officials remind residents that activation times for the warming centers may change based on updated National Weather Service forecasts. Residents are encouraged to stay informed to know when and where to seek assistance.
