Take care guys, stay hydrated and under cool shade for time to time. As a skater this is very common amongst the people that are at the park. You are your own person so YOU need to move to shade quickly if you start feeling too hot.

Houston Parks Dept and City Officials need to Wake the F* Up and prevent what is preventable.

Some of these parks out here in Phoenix AZ are just unbearable in the summer, you can get early morning and evening only sessions. Seems like a waste, could have planned for some sun protection you would think....

NO! The "WARNING" Was BEFORE The heat death at the Jamail skatepark. The KIDS and PARENTS did not heed the WARNING Its NOT the CITIES FAULT!
