Palm Desert Dog Park

Looks like a nice park. However they close BOTH SIDES for 2 hours to clean. It would be a LOT more customer service oriented to close one side at a time — but apparently that’s not their concern. While I stood there trying to figure out what was going on and why there was a lock on the gate (the «closing hours» are written on a plaque that is not easy to read or understand) several people came up with their dogs as well. I live in La Quinta — and they maintain their dog parks as well. However they don’t close the park to do so. If they are mowing — they do so quickly so as to be considerate of the people and dogs waiting. Palm Desert — you could definitely take a cue from La Quinta. Very disappointing.

Great dog park! The regulars are very welcoming! It’s clean and well maintained. Plenty of parking!

On a recent visit to the desert we found this DP and decided to stop and let our fur babies run off some pent up energy.
Clean, well lit, separate areas for small and large dogs.
We will be back again,

Nice Clean dog park…

This was a perfect respite for our Lilly pup. While we played tourist, she was stuck travelling in the car and getting the obligatory relief walks. She couldn’t even run and play outside at our resort. So, she definitely needed her own getaway spot, and this couldn’t have been better. I only wish there were some other dogs there for her to play with and sniff. Bad timing, not the park’s fault.
Owner and dog friendly, there are two sections, one for big dogs, one for small. There was plenty of cooling green grass, mature trees offering comfortable shade from the unrelenting desert sun, sturdy concrete benches, a permanent canopy with misters going, a clean water dish, a handful of slightly used tennis balls, a pooper scooper and bags, and of course, the obligatory fence so our canine friends can frolic leash-​free.
GPS for Google Maps is way off. You will find this terrific dog park next to the large parking lot for the YMCA, in the PS Civic Center.

Wow! I thought this park was amazing! I live in Ventura County and could only wish our dog parks were a little like this.
Pros: Nice friendly dog owners, water bowl provided for dogs, pooper scooper for the public to use to pick up after the pups, mist sprinklers on a shaded tent to sit under, nice shady trees, big area for little dogs.
Where I live they give little dogs only a tiny area… this was a good size area for the tiny pups.
My boyfriend was there for business and we were going to leave at 4PM, but we had to check out of our hotel at noon. So – being worried I would be stuck in the hot car waiting for him with my two dogs travelling us I decided to search for a dog park in hopes for shade and a place for them to run and this place was perfect.
Too bad I do not live closer I LOVE THIS PARK AND SO DID MY DOGS!
I can tell it is very well maintained. Awesome 5 stars

I brought my two dogs here today and found out to be disgusting. Do people not know how to clean up after their dogs? I don’t blame the park attendance I blame the owners, be reasonable.

It was closed for reseeding until Nov 25, 2013. Also the map is wrong it’s at the Civic Center.

the best dog park in the valley I think. the only reason I gave it 4 stars is because it is missing a little bit of grass in the middle and the dogs get very dirty, but most of the dog parks don’t even have that much grass in there. I highly recommend it the people are great and there are no aggressive dogs.

Great park! Grass, shade, clean, pretty good size, pooper scoopers, trees. @myownersucks is stoked to visit
