Red Oaks Waterpark Closes Amid Heat Wave | Detroit News

Red Oaks Waterpark shut down Tuesday as heat index soared into triple digits, prioritizing safety for guests and staff alike. Families traveled hours only to find gates locked — a stark reminder that even cooling spots can become hazardous in extreme heat. Dehydration risks are high, especially for lifeguards working long hours on scorching concrete. Oakland County Parks is adjusting schedules, offering early shifts or days off when possible, and closely monitoring all recreational areas. The park reopens Wednesday with shortened hours — 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. — as officials stay alert for the upcoming Fourth of July weekend.
