Community centers give children a place to get out of the heat

Posted: Updated:

During hot summer days some kids look for an option to get out of the heat.

Many kids in our area head to local community centers.

The A.D. Lewis Community Center in Huntington is a popular hangout for area kids.

The center has all sorts of indoor activities including sports, a computer lab and board games.

The children we talked to say they like to be able to come inside where they can play and have fun, and stay cool at the same time.

"It is good to come here and play because it is air-conditioned and cool. They have an indoor basketball court so you don't have to stay out in the heat and play," said Steven Melton.

Staff members say they have several dozen kids who are at the center on a typical summer day.
