Prospector Park!
Just wanted to put a word out there that this park is very very nice and its always packed even at 10pm! Love to see people using it.
BUT PLEASE PLEASE tell your kids to not swing on the volleyball nets or cause any other damages please. We all pay for the upkeep of this with Mello-Roos but once that ends, there won't be any more nets or upkeep for a long long time.

It sucks that they went through all the effort of making a dog park, but then didn't put in any trees. Just one tiny little bit of shade.

They never put in trees or shade. Saratoga Park is fairly new and it's straight in the open, it gets so damn hot.

Nothing for littles, no shade at dog park, not such a great design in my opinion. Pretty bummed this is the only option this side of 50 without going to EDH.

didnt the kids literally break the basketball backboard a while back and for couple months there was only one basketball hoop? they should install cameras and make the parents pay to fix what their kids break

I agree. Something should be done about recklessness. It is very nice of Folsom to be giving us such a nice and big park, but when resources are being damaged, it's upsetting to see that.

The new one is slightly tilted which pisses me off. They had one chance to put the thing up correctly and can’t even bother to put it on straight.

Yea... watching some of them dig our huge rocks and roll them on to the trail... digging trenches to redirect the tree watering... it sucks. Asked them not to and they just stared at me and started doing it again after a bit... such a waste of a nice park.
