County parks and Aquatic Centers will be open however, the Department of Recreation and Parks would like to encourage visitors to take safety precautions while visiting our parks in the extreme heat:

• Drink plenty of water and natural juices, even if you don't feel thirsty.
• Slow down. Avoid strenuous activity.
• Wear loose-fitting, lightweight, light-colored clothing. Light colors will reflect away some of the sun's energy.
• Use sunscreen and wear a wide-brimmed hat.
• Make sure pets have plenty of shade and water to drink.
