Summer 2024 in Arizona: 100+ splash pads and community pools to keep cool around the Valley

First, the 90-degree temperatures, then the triple digits are here to stay!

As any Arizonan knows, there are many ways to beat the heat: stay inside and crank the air conditioning, go to the movies, bowling, or an arcade — basically anywhere that is air-conditioned — or spend a couple of hours splashing around in the water.
