Want to beat the summer heat? These Middle GA water parks, splash pads are open now.
In Georgia, every summer seems hotter than the last and this summer is no exception.
This week, Georgians will see temperatures rise into the 90s and stay there all week. We may see triple digits as early as next week.
Some afternoons, it is a must to stay indoors and away from the sun; but other days, the kids and adults want to venture out in the heat.
Here are some local places to take the family this summer and still stay cool out in the sun.
Forsyth Splash Pad
