This park is in downtown Placerville, CA. It's one of the prettiest neighborhood parks that I've…read moreever seen. Gorgeous aspen (or pine, one of those) trees surround the park. In its four acres is a lighted little league baseball field (home to the Hangtown League) complete with an electronic scoreboard and snack shack, play ground, picnic tables with bbq pits, and restrooms. The park is on Clark Street which is a narrow neighborhood gravel road. Drive cautiously because the street turns into hybrid part parking lot and street. On game days, the parking lot fills up quickly. When that happens, parking on Clark Street is scarce and the best bet is to park on Pacific Street and hike in. There are some handicapped parking spots located at the far end of the parking lot behind the little snack shack. From that end, there is a walking ramp that leads to all areas of the park including the walking path around the back field. So if you have folks in your group that would benefit from using the ADA ramps, it's best to unload from back there. Besides that access point, there are stairs, with hand rails, in the front parking lot. The parking lot has only one entrance and exit point. A big shout out to the Placerville Rotary Club for creating this park and helping to maintain it. Great community partnership.

Great spot to stop along the way to Tahoe to stretch our legs…read more The kids loved panning for gems- they aren't huge, but there's a decent variety and they were happy with their small jar collection There are cave mining tours that we didn't do. I was pleasantly surprised that there were also some short but steep dog friendly trails that we walked around after. Bathrooms on site as well

Low rating due to lack of customer service!!!!…read more This place has been on my bucket list for a long time, and I finally had the opportunity to visit with two of my girlfriends. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing, not because of the attraction itself, but because of how we were treated. It was an extremely slow day, and we were the only visitors there. The woman at the entrance was rather monotone and seemed almost surprised that we were there. After we paid, she emphasized that we had only 15 minutes in the cave and that if we went over, we would need to have a conversation. Her tone and expression made it difficult to tell whether she was joking, but it certainly didn't make us feel welcome. I understand that businesses have rules, but the way they are communicated matters. We were three adult women who had come to enjoy an experience we'd been looking forward to. We had no intention of causing trouble or damaging anything, so the warning felt unnecessary and off-putting, especially considering we had paid admission. After the self-guided tour, we walked over to the blacksmith area. The woman sitting outside gave us another uncomfortable look, and we weren't even sure whether she was a visitor or part of the staff. We eventually spoke with the blacksmith and expressed interest in watching him work. He explained that he was waiting for a Home Depot delivery and said he'd be back in about 10 minutes. We waited, but he never returned, and no one acknowledged it or offered an explanation. What bothered us most was the overall feeling that our presence was an inconvenience. We were genuinely interested in the history and activities offered at the property, yet we repeatedly felt unwelcome for reasons we couldn't understand. I've visited other gold mines and caves and have never experienced anything quite like this. We weren't expecting special treatment, just basic courtesy and a welcoming atmosphere. It's disappointing to finally visit a place you've looked forward to for so long and leave feeling as though you weren't wanted there. The attraction itself may be worth visiting, but customer service makes a difference. Unfortunately, our experience with the staff took away from what should have been an enjoyable day.

Kids quest may as well be called godsend for parents because this is just something that does not exist anywhere in my experience as a parent of a four and seven-year-old! The staff was incredibly helpful in getting this oriented to the experience and help the kids. We got signed up really quickly and the kids were in and having a blast in no time which let us head back to the casino to check it out and also explore Apex. The kids told us they had an absolute blast in space and that the counselors were friendly and kind and helpful, and that they couldn't wait to return. Personally, I want to come vacation at Redhawk again just because I know this exists and it means that I could enjoy dinner with my wife or even head out and find something fun to eat or do in Placerville surrounding area because this place is open late! Yes, this is an awesome addition to a hotel property and every hotel should consider, including something like this because by God did we spend some money after we left here. So good!
