Posted: Updated:
MORRIS HEIGHTS -

Community members flocked to Jennie Jerome Playground in Morris Heights Wednesday to cool off in the park's sprinklers.

Kids jumped around in the sprinklers to get some much-needed relief from the sultry temperatures.

The day saw mostly cloudy skies, with temperatures around 91 degrees.

The city is encouraging people to stay indoors with air conditioners if possible and to stay hydrated.
