Today, Mayor Joe Hogsett joined Indy Parks and the Emergency Management Division of the Metropolitan Emergency Services Agency to encourage additional safety measures ahead of extreme heat.
Throughout Indianapolis, residents can access 17 splash pads as well as 10 family centers that act as cooling centers throughout the day. Any Marion County resident can sign up for free pool access, with six pools to choose from. Even while enjoying splash pads or pools, residents are still encouraged to stay hydrated and take breaks from the heat when they can.
