The forecast for Thursday is hot, which is also the forecast for the rest of the summer. Check out these free options to cool off at a local splash pad.

- Fairmount and Battery Park splash pads are open weekdays from 1-8pm, Saturdays from noon-5pm, and Sundays from 1-5pm.

Never to be outdone, Henrico County has four splash options — with a fifth opening at the end of summer.
Hours: Daily, 9am-7pm.

Plus there's the Pop Jet Fountain at Stony Point Fashion Park.
- Yep, it's still there.
Hours: Monday-Saturday, 11am-7pm, and Sunday, noon-6pm.
