AED/Defibrillator – Now at Miltonvale Community Park!
There is now an AED at Miltonvale Community Park. An AED is an automated external defibrillator, which is a portable medical device that checks the heart rhythm and delivers an electric shock to restart a heart during sudden cardiac arrest. To use it, the first step is to turn it on and follow the instructions on it. The AED should be in the Park shelter when the shelter is staffed; otherwise, during times the park is open, it should be in the shed by the Pickleball/tennis court. There is also an AED at the Milton Community Hall.
