Whether it be a day off work for the observance of Independence Day or in town visiting family, people took advantage of the heat and the sunshine by cooling off at the Ottawa Metro Park beach in Lima. Temperatures reached the 90s by the afternoon, making it a great day to go for a swim but also one where people needed to take the proper precautions to prevent heat related illnesses.
A local beach is set to reopen for the season over the weekend. The Ottawa Metro Park beach will officially open for the summer starting on May 29th.
Many are beating the heat by heading to the Ottawa Metro Park Beach this week. With temperatures crossing over 90 degrees, the beach manager said it has been very busy. They are seeing crowds in the hundreds and yesterday had an attendance near 200. Adding to the traditional 'raindrop' fountain and water slide, the park has added the aqua jump which requires a life jacket that is provided. Allen County residents and non-residents are welcome to the beach with varying prices. Toddlers under the age of 2 get in free.
