We’re sharing some fun ways to beat the heat.
Whether you’re here to grab a cold one with friends, take the kids for a swim, or just simply passing through. Check out how we’re cooling down this summer in #thisisdelco
1. Take a Splash at the Manchester Whitewater Park
Cool down by surfing or riding the waves at the largest Whitewater Park in the Midwest! The park has something for all ages, and 6 water features for those feeling extra adventurous!
