NOTES:
Community Garden – When the volunteers or staff (Ryan or Donnie) pick vegetables, they will be available in coolers or at the veggie stand at the community garden, across Rte. 224 from the Milton Community Hall. At times, when specific vegetables are plentiful, people can U-Pick, if the signs indicate, or you have received permission from municipal staff. Otherwise, please don’t pick from the garden. Ryan can be reached at 902-218-8219. Feel free to U-pick flowers from the communal area. Please be mindful of others who may also want garden produce. The Garden was planted for the use of Miltonvale Park residents, and can also be used by nearby residents in need. The half closer to the Rustico Road has been planted by individuals, for their own use, so please do not disturb or pick vegetables in that portion.
Miltonvale Community Park – The park is no longer staffed. If you notice issues, please contact the Municipal Office at 902-368-3090, admin@miltonvalepark.com, or 902-213-0597.
Reminder – There are books and puzzles to borrow in the lobby at the Milton Community Hall, and a Little Free Library at the park.
Miltonvale Park offers a child bursary, low-flow toilet rebates, and rebates for high-efficiency washers and low-flow showerheads to its residents. https://miltonvalepark.com/for-residents/rebates-forms/
Coyote Sighting Alert – North Milton Several coyotes were in someone’s yard on the Rustico Road recently. Please be vigilant regarding 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
DOGS on LEASH – Reminder – Dogs at the Community Park should be leashed, unless they are inside the dog park. There have been several instances this summer where unleashed dogs have attacked other dogs.
