In light of the current heat warning, city officials will keep the Market Square splash pad open a few extra days.
The free water activities were set to close at the end of the day on Sunday but will be open evenings this week and be shut down for the season after Friday. The pad will be open from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. each of those days.
Environment Canada has placed Guelph under a heat warning, with temperatures expected to hit about 35 degrees Celsius on Tuesday and Wednesday before dropping to the mid-20s to finish the week. Due to humidity, Tuesday and Wednesday are expected to feel like nearly 40 C.
