Bartlesville's CityRide is offering free rides to Osage Hills State Park swimming pool beginning this week to provide relief from the heat.

The city's swimming pools have been closed all summer due to water restrictions implemented amid drought conditions.

The CityRide bus will pick up riders at two locations in Bartlesville around noon and leave Osage Hills at 5:30 pm.

Pick up: Robinwood Park, 2200 S.E. Frank Phillips Blvd at 11:45 am and Frontier Pool, 312 S.W. Virginia Ave. at noon.
