Beat the heat this summer by cooling down at a Pop-Up Splash Pad. The Parks and Recreation and Fire departments will be popping up at neighborhood parks this summer. Attendees can run through the spray of a fire hose, toss a few water balloons and play fun water games.

The third Pop-Up Splash Pad will be from 5 to 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 13 at the 17th Avenue Sports Complex, 2600 17th Ave. E. These free events are geared to all ages.
