I have a rotating collection of frozen 1L bottles I use too. My rabbits don't generally get too close to them, they often seem to like licking them instead or even playing with them like toys (that said, my rabbits are adapted to the heat here, apparently, and even though I'm in Brazil we probably didn't break 90F three times this past summer).
I use the bottles because occasionally the rabbits will gnaw on them and 1) bottles are free and 2) frozen water won't hurt them if it leaks out and they eat it. I wouldn't use frozen packs.
Another thing I do that might be useful for you is to put either floor tiles or countertop granite or other stone in the hutches in the summer (I replace them with wood planks in the winter). These stay nice and cool during the day and the rabbits are always stretched out on them.
