August is very hot and humid even on a good day so consider bringing a back pack or cooler with plenty of water, a battery operated fan of some sort, a folding chair or blanket to sit down on and pack a picnic lunch of some sort as food options will be fairly limited in and around the parks. Bathrooms are not easy to find and may not be in great condition either.
I won't have a car but will walk from a nearby hotel. I had figured on bringing a frozen bottle of water so it will melt slowly and stay cold, a rain poncho to sit on, and yes, viewing glasses.
How early do you think I'll need to arrive given that I'm not going to need parking space?
