Gabriel Capitoni, 1, of Carmichaels, splashes around in the water fountains on the sweltering Tuesday afternoon at the Alpha Aquatics Center near Waynesburg while his mother, Sarah, keeps a close eye on him in the wading area of the pool’s splash zone. The Greene County-operated pool in Franklin Township was packed with children and families as temperatures hovered in the high 80s for the most of the day.
