It's a beautiful park with lots of things to do. For us, it's our pickleball court of choice in Palm Springs and area. It can get really busy here especially on weekends. Good players from beginners to advanced. Very welcoming.

Great park and sports area that shoulders a local elementary school on the border of Palm Desert, La Quinta and Bermuda dunes. Playground area very well maintained, baseball and basketball and lots of paths and grassy areas for kids to play. Well lit in the evenings and lots of parking with restrooms too.
