Erica Kile, who has been visiting Jaycee Park since she was a teenager, shared her advice for staying safe in the hot weather. “Lots of water, lots of water everywhere. We’re going to hydrate, and we’re going to play in the water as much as possible,” Erica Kile said. Extreme heat can lead to heatstroke, with symptoms including confusion, slurred speech, vomiting, rapid breathing, and headaches. Emergency care may be required if the body fails to cool down. The splash pads and shaded playgrounds at Jaycee Park are filled with families trying to stay comfortable. “We love the water, water park, and the playgrounds. Great. The shade, you know, you can always be more shade. You’re not going to get that in Florida. So we’re, I mean, we’re loving it. Yeah, just nonstop drinking water even on days at their home. Because that’s really the most important thing is to hydrate every day, not just when you’re in the sun,” Erica Kile said. Seven-year-old Aspen shared her thoughts on how to handle the heat during the summer. “Staying in the pool every day. Every day,” Aspen said.DOWNLOAD\u202fthe free\u202fGulf Coast News app\u202ffor your latest news and alerts on breaking news, weather, sports, entertainment, and more on your phone or tablet.
