The next Park Patrol will draw residents to one of Paris’ newest parks off Rest Acres Road. On Thursday, from 6 pm to 7:30 pm at Jay Wells Park (1 Scenic Ridge Dr) the county will be on site to offer some family-fun activities. Bring those bathing suits and a towel because the Paris Firefighters Club will have an aerial suspension truck ready to spray water and cool people down

Luckily next week’s forecast is looking more like summer temperatures once again so take advantage of this free offering and get to know people in your community. Not to mention, this park has a neat ball hockey court, basketball courts and lots of equipment to enjoy.
