The DC Department of Parks and Recreation will be extending hours for the Joe Cole spray park. The spray park will remain open until 9:00 pm, instead of closing at 7:00 pm on the weekdays. The extended hours will remain in effect until July 29, 2016.

You can find additional information on cooling centers and other resources to assist with the heat emergency on the DC DPR web page.

Stay cool and help neighbors that may be in need of assistance during the heat wave.
