Locals used a flooded skate park as a swimming pool in northern Utah on Tuesday, August 13, after persistent rain in the region.

Pictures released by Orem Police Department show extensive flooding in the high desert area following heavy rain.

“The Orem skate park now doubles as a kayak park,” police wrote on Facebook.

More than an inch of rain fell in Orem over the course of three days, the National Weather Service said, flooding roads and basements, according to local media.

Efforts to clear the floodwaters were ongoing on Tuesday night. Credit: Orem Police Department via Storyful
