Portland pools, MAX service, schools closed due to extreme heat

June 29, 2021

Among the most devastating of the closures may be the shuttering of Portland Parks & Recreation outdoor swimming pools. The agency anticipates providing access to preregistered guests of outdoor pools on Tuesday, June 29 but said it will revisit operation schedules daily, and can only reopen outdoor pools once it is safe to do so. East Portland Pool, Matt Dishman Pool, and Mount Scott Pool will remain open 5:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Monday. TriMet has halted all MAX and Portland Streetcar service Monday as temperatures are too warm for the overhead electric wires. pic.twitter.com/EqbKUgCJ3K — Portland Streetcar (@PDXStreetcar) June 27, 2021Another casualty of extreme heat may be outdoor dining.
