The Albemarle County Cooling Centers will remain open through Thursday, June 26, and Friday, June 27, as the County extends operations to provide continued relief from the extreme heat.
The cooling center locations are:
- Greenwood Community Center (865 Greenwood Road, Crozet)

Operating hours at both cooling centers are 9 am to 6 pm. Each will provide air-conditioned spaces ideal for those seeking a cool environment to rest and hydrate. All cooling centers are ADA-compliant and accessible to individuals with disabilities.
In addition to the designated cooling centers, the lobbies of both County Office Buildings (401 McIntire Road and 1600 5th Street) and County libraries are also open to the public.
Additionally, Albemarle County is extending its fee waiver for public swimming beaches through Thursday and Friday. Cool off at Chris Greene Lake Park, Mint Springs Valley Park, or Walnut Creek Park from 10 am to 6 pm.
