Feeling the heat? Here are the splash pads that will remain open in the Black Country and wider areas as temperatures continue to soar.
With this week's heatwave seeing temperatures reach 28C in some parts of the region, a number of parents may be searching for a place where their youngsters can cool off.
And several parks in the Black Country and the wider area have confirmed their splash pad areas will remain open in the hot weather.
These include:
East Park, Wolverhampton
The East Park play area has recently undergone a huge transformation following a £600,000 investment by Wolverhampton Council.
Among its attractions is a octopus and water splash play area, offering the perfect place for youngsters to cool down in the hot weather.
Other features include roundabouts, seesaws, wetpour tunnels and bucket and rope swings.
A spokesperson for Wolverhampton Council has confirmed that the water play area is currently open.
They said: "The splash pad at East Park is currently open. While we are seeing a good period of warm weather and the pad is being well used, we are keen to keep it open and available for families to enjoy.
"We are monitoring ongoing usage and once this reduces significantly, we are having consistently poor weather, and there is no improvement in the forecast, it will close.
