Families cool off at local splash pad

Some families spent their morning relieving themselves from the heat at the Splash Pad in La Quinta. As soon as the water would stop, the kids would run over to the button and turn the water right back on. They didn't let the high temperatures get in the way.

Today it was one Indio resident's first time at the site.

"It was like, really cool. And I liked it because the water was super refreshing. And it felt like super nice to finally be in the water and like, not like be super hot and like dying," said Indio resident Adeline Cisneros. "It's been like, super hot, like, the oven hot, like over the top. Like, I can't even explain how hot it was, because that's how hot it is."

Valley resident, Melody Barton, took her two kids to enjoy the water.

"We love to come here year round, but during the summer, having the Splash Pad is so nice because the kids can run around, and burn off energy, and they're good and ready for nap time when I take them home," said Barton.

When Barton and her family aren't at the Splash Pad, they cool off in other ways.

"We don't have a pool, so we come up with fun games to play with the hose or we do water beads and kiddie pool stuff," Barton said. "So it's been rough, though. It's been rough with the heat."
