Pittsburgh will offer free child care on Tuesday, Nov. 3 for Election, but will close or offer limited services at many of CitiParks’ recreation centers and Healthy Active Living Senior Centers.

Families are asked to register their children directly with the recreation center they plan to attend to ensure adequate staffing, meals, and programming. CitiParks is coordinating with community partners to provide educational and enrichment activities throughout the day.
