We learned about the gold in the area, the miners, the mining district, and the fate of the local natives. The leader, David, was very knowledgeable. We enjoyed a beautiful 3-mile hike over gentle hills. It was an easy hike, although some of the terrain was rocky and uneven, and we had to find a path through a couple of small streams. Not a problem for most, but some older folk were glad they had their hiking poles. I was glad I had my waterproof hiking shoes. The Preserve is open to the public on Saturdays from Feb - May, and then again in the fall. Check the website for access hours. You can hike on your own, or register for one of the docent-led hikes. Also, the road to access Deer Creek Hills is not paved, and there is a small stream you have to drive through to get to the hiking area, so a four-wheel drive is a good idea. Those without high-clearance vehicles parked their cars along the side of the road before the stream, and hiked to the trailhead.

The new construction reminds me of the older one but it's a lot safer now. Some things to keep in mind is there is not a lot of shade. There is a gazebo with 4 picnic benches in the shade but other than that there are no sunshades. Also, when the temperature is hot outside the play structure gets very hot.

Theres a BBQ grill area, clean restrooms and a turf like material for the flooring of the park. But you can see the freeway from the park. the parking spots are limited, maybe 10 or less and in regards to safety - Its by a main street with traffic and there is no fencing around the entire park. Its not unsafe at all but its just an FYI. Theres also not much shade and it does get hot out there. Its a great new park and gets busy at times as well.

However when you actually pull i to the parking lot you realize what a gem this place is. Its small enough so that you don't have to walk a mile to reach the playground yet large enough to host a football/soccer field and a huge playground even by adult standards. Grab yourself an ice cold drink and decompress under the shade as you let your kids tire themselves out. Or throw grab some buds and relax with a good old bbq.

There appeared to be drug activity, and there were people living in their cars. It felt more like a place for people to hang out and purchase drugs than a normal parking lot. I observed this as I drove through, which was very concerning. This was a bummer, especially since the trail itself looked beautiful. I'm surprised that law enforcement hasn't been called by the neighborhood, but then again, I understand that people can sometimes become used to these conditions.
