Miwok Park,

9344 Village Tree Drive, Elk Grove, CA 95758

"Beautiful park in a nice neighborhood. My only concern is there are a couple of large holes where there are green boxes (utility?) Without covers. One has a couple of sticks over in a attempt to make sure it's seen and not stepped in. Safety hazard"

"The playground used to be a Utopia of kid-friendly fun. As of today, I have had it with the decline and neglect of Miwok park. In the past, we have noticed it never seems to get sprayed or cleaned, and is overrun with spiderwebs and squirrel colonies (who can be food aggressive if you have snacks out). We also have seen homeless adults making themselves comfortable on the picnic areas outside the play structure during day. Not ideal in a children’s park, but the play structures were still safe and fun to play on. Until today, because my toddler found a homeless woman passed out on the top isle of the playground structure. It was 10am in the morning. He thought she was dead. Other parents tried to shoo her away, and she refused. One of the parents had to call the police. Now I know why I never see large groups of kids playing at Miwok anymore. I am saddened to have to make this review. I hope the parks department or appropriate departments see this, and take action to update and save this once beautiful park. Please do not bring your children here until this park gets the attention it needs from appropriate departments. There are so many safer, newer, play areas to visit in Elk Grove!"

"They probably should the p ark "squirrel park". There are so many squirrels running around the park....it is crazy, but entertaining. The play structure is made with a type of wood product and it is safe for the kids to play on. This park has a tennis court and a lot of shade trees for comfort."

"This neighborhood park is an older one with massive trees with abundant shade, tennis courts and walking trail, wooden jungle equipment for children, and neighborhood street parking. Discovered it as my beloved Club Pilates is closed during the Pandemic. Pilates in the Park is offered a couple early AM sessions a week and has been refreshing to attend outdoors in such a serene setting. Nice to see some of the regular club attendees also enjoying the fresh air and found a new trail in EG!"
