BATON ROUGE - With a heat advisory in effect for the Capitol region, it's important to stay cool!
BREC has free community pools and splash pads open across East Baton Rouge Parish.
Seven splash pads and three community pools are now open. Hours vary by facility.
The splash pads are interactive water play areas with no standing water. Anyone can activate the water-spray features by pressing the activator button in the splash pad.
Pushing the button engages the water system, which runs for approximately 12 minutes before turning off. Pushing the button again will activate the system.
