The city's recreation centers are staffed and programmed for kids while many schools are on an extended holiday break.

All city pools will be open by June 3 and the Recreation Commission has expanded programming, including night-time activities. Cincinnati Parks will have several events, and police will be targeting crime hotspots.

It's getting dangerously hot this week. But you can cool down during the day even if you don't have access to air conditioning.

The Recreation Commission is still looking to hire lifeguards to staff pools.

For many working parents, preparing for summer has meant a stress-filled search for childcare so moms and dads can keep earning their paychecks.

The design for a new recreation center in Over-the-Rhine may include a roller skating rink after all, thanks to a flood of public comment.

Traditionally, Cincinnati's rec centers have been focused on the specific neighborhoods they're in. But that could change.

The new pay range is between $16 and $18 an hour, up from $11.53 to $12.40 an hour. Recreation Director Daniel Betts says they're also offering a $500 bonus.

Bonus pay up to $2,000 per lifeguard helped recruit enough people to open more pools, but pay isn’t the only problem.

Cincinnati Center City Development Corp. is looking to reimagine several city-owned spaces north of Liberty Street in Over-the-Rhine, including Findlay Playground, Grant Park, Over-the-Rhine Recreation Center and the Elm Street pocket park.
