  • If the non-forecasted opening occurs before 5pm, the pools will also be notified and entry fees will be waived.
  • Additional activations may occur at any time if urgent public health and safety issues arise or the City faces prolonged periods of intense heat (i.e. 5+ days).

Tulare Regional Medical Center-- and several other locations around the County --have one more solution for people to beat the heat, public cooling centers. The air-conditioned center, open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., is located inside the medical center's main entrance lobby on 869 N. Cherry St. Tulare Regional Medial Center staff suggests spending just a few hours in an air-conditioned environment to bring down the body's core temperature making the outside heat tolerable. Individuals including older or frail adults, homeless, parents with small children or people with health conditions whose condition can worsen due to the heat should avoid going outside.
