Coyote Sighting Alert at Miltonvale Community Park
Several coyotes and pups have been sighted in the grass field at the back of the garden and toward the water at the park at 413 Sleepy Hollow Road.
Please be vigilant when walking by or around that area with your pets and children. If you see a coyote:
- Stay calm and keep your distance
- Do not approach, feed, or attempt to interact with it
- Keep dogs on a leash and pick up small pets if it is safe to do so
- Make yourself appear larger, make loud noises, and slowly back away if a coyote approaches
- Do not run
- Report any aggressive behaviour to the appropriate local authorities
Thank you for helping us keep our park safe for you, visitors, and wildlife.
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.
