# 85 – Beat the Heat with a Cool Treat

When it’s hot in Kings Park and you need to cool off, a great way is to visit .  Order your favorite flavor, find a comfortable place to sit in adjacent Russ Savatt Park and enjoy.

With close to 40 water ices and over 70 creme ices, there is a flavor to delight every palate. There are traditional water ices, like grape, watermelon and cherry, and the more exotic flavors like Mai Tai, Malibu Bay Breeze and Caribbean Splash.

Creme ices also come in an abundance of flavors, from Apple Crumb Pie to Vanilla Peanut Butter Cup. There are even twelve varieties of chocolate creme ices.

Long time employee Vincent DeGori says when it comes to fan favorites, “It’s the Rainbow and Peanut Butter Cookie Dough” that top the list.  

Ralph’s also serves up soft ice cream, sundaes, shakes and fruit smoothies.

Next to Ralph’s is Russ Savatt Park, an old fashioned square, with tables and benches. The recently renovated park was named after long time King Park resident who, among other things, was a member of the Kings Park Volunteer Fire Department and operated a barber shop just steps away from his namesake park.

Ralph’s employee, Amanda Bono, states, “Young and old come to cool off with a refreshing ice. They can sit outside and enjoy themselves.”

Teresa and Bernard Dillon can often be found enjoying an ice, while sitting on the park’s swing. Bernard explains, “We come here all the time, it’s a great way to relax.”

Ralph’s is now open seven days a week, from noon to 11 p.m.

So with the hotter weather finally here, a visit to Ralph’s Famous Italian Ices has made our 100 Things To Do In Kings Park list.
