Best Ways to Beat the Heat in Liberty County
Summer is heating up in Liberty County, and there’s no better place to enjoy it. From pools, parks and waterways to trails, marshes and outdoor adventures, there are plenty of ways to make the most of the season while staying cool. Here are a few of our favorite ways to beat the heat in Liberty County.
Go for a Swim
One of the best ways to keep cool in Liberty County is to spend time at our public pools. The Liberty County Recreation Department (LCRD) has two of them. Both locations are open from May 25th through August 1st for only $3 per person. The recreation department also offers season and individual passes. You can even reserve them for private parties! Plus, there are on-duty lifeguards to make sure everyone stays safe while having fun. Whether you take the whole family out for a day or spend some time relaxing in the pool on your own, our local recreation department has you covered.
Another public pool that offers fun summer activities is at our local YMCA. The Liberty County YMCA offers fun experiences including sports and countless pool-related events. They teach swim lessons and give summer pool passes that grant access to their pools and splash pads. They even have water aerobics classes and summer camp programs for children with daily access to the pool. The YMCA pool is special around here because not only is it an indoor pool, but it also has lap lanes and a diving board! Stop in and take advantage of all the YMCA has to offer.
Get on the Water with Slack Tide Tiki
Not into being in the water? Spend some time on it with Slack Tide Tiki instead. Slack Tide Tiki offers coastal cruising adventures for up to six guests and crew. Choose from a morning or lunchtime cruise to a happy hour or sunset one. Then sit back and relax as you tour the waterways. The tiki boat has a Bluetooth sound system to play any music you want, a large cooler for your food and beverages and a bathroom. Take the whole family out and enjoy what our lovely coast has to offer.
Pro Tip: Download the Tides Near Me app before you head out to check tide times and conditions.
Take the Kids to Bradwell Park’s Splash Pad
Bradwell Park is a beautiful square downtown where locals picnic under live oak trees and enjoy the different events our county hosts. Not only is it a great space for the whole family, but it also has a splash pad! Bring your kids and let them cool off on a hot day. For more information about Bradwell Park and the splash pad, contact the Hinesville Downtown Development Authority.
