Beaches remain accessible as the Chicago Park District confirms they are fully staffed with lifeguards, reminding everyone that swimming is permitted from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

The city will also be opening cooling centers, which encompass Garfield Center, Chicago Park District locations, public libraries, city colleges, and police districts.

For those intending to be outdoors in the heat, the city’s health commissioner recommends keeping necks and wrists cool. Officials have also urged pet owners to frequently check on their animals.
