FORT JACKSON, SC -- As temperatures flirted with 100 degrees last week, children and adults alike took to water to cool off. From water fun at the post child development centers to the array of activities provided at Palmetto Falls Water Park, the post offers no shortage of activities to keep cool this summer.

In addition to the water park, Legion Pool, is open Monday Friday 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 4:30 to 7 p.m. The pool is adjacent to the Officers' Club, which is located off Semmes Road.

For those who prefer activities out of the water, the Palmetto Greens Miniature Golf Course, which is adjacent to the water park, offers a scaled down 18-hole course for all ages.
