Bergen County has opened emergency Cooling Centers to help residents stay safe during this week’s heat wave. Centers will operate Tuesday, June 30 through Sunday, July 5, from 9 AM to 6 PM.
Those in need of transportation to a County cooling center may call the Division of Community Transportation at 201‑394‑2882. The cooling center at One Bergen County Plaza is pet‑friendly (all pets must be crated or leashed).
To help residents beat the heat, the Bergen County Parks Department is extending swimming hours at Darlington Lake to 10 AM – 7 PM. Families can also cool off at the Van Saun County Park Splash Pad in Paramus.
With temperatures expected to rise above 90 degrees, please stay hydrated, limit time in the sun, and check in on elderly neighbors and young children. Never leave a child or pet in a vehicle — even for a moment. Residents are encouraged to check their local municipal cooling centers before traveling to a County facility.
