SACRAMENTO – Discovery Park is a popular place to be during the summer months, especially as Sacramento braces for some of the hottest temperatures so far this year. Mark Gamble’s family is one of many beating the heat in the waves.
“We already know triple digits are coming up, any kind of way to beat the heat,” Gamble said safety is always their number one priority. “Water safety is so important, and we hear time and time again kids going in the water without that and it’s not worth it.”
Gamble’s kids are utilizing the county-issued life vests, offered not only at Discovery Park but across the region.
“We came out here to have a good time so we want to go home the same way with everybody, so life vests is one of those things we practice,” Gamble said.
Captain Justin Sylvia, the Sacramento Fire Department Public Information Officer, said remembering a life vest on the water is one of the most important things you can do.
