The public safety building, 38 Cochituate Road, will keep a training room open for the public to use to cool down 24 hours per day through Friday at 5 p.m.

Outside the area, the state Department of Recreation and Conservation (DCR) will extend hours at pools, wading pools, spray decks, beaches, and waterfronts. For a list of DCR’s ocean beaches click here, and for the freshwater inland beaches click here.
