A family enjoys a day out at Lake Ontario.

Tuesday through Thursday, Ontario Beach Park will be open extended hours due to forecasts of excessive heat.

Hours for swimming will be 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Though Monroe County officials caution that whether the beach will be open will be determined day-to-day through water quality testing and in consultation with the health department.

The spray park at Ontario Beach will be open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Forecasts call for temperatures in the upper 90s both days, with temperatures in the 90s and upper 80s projected into the weekend.
