Confirmed from La Quinta Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Family-oriented public park featuring a playground, workout spots and picnic spots.
What runners say about La Quinta Park
“Awesome and well maintained park!”
“so beautiful and fun for the kids and a area for the grown ups too.”
“So nice that it is fully shaded and has many different playground structures and tons of swings.”
Great park with climbing equipment, fitness, sprinklers. Plenty of seating and shaded areas.
What a neat park now for the entire family! Not as super-sized as the Palm Desert city park but still fun. Recent landscaping improvements have increased the trees with new plantings and a much needed retaining wall along the paved sidewalk. The coolest part is the kids fountains area with waterworks that ca.
Kids had a blast at the water fountain ⛲ area for the kiddos. **Update** They have updated the water fountain area for the kids, all new area for the kids to play. I came here about 7 am to walk my dog, and it was a pleasant morning for it.
This is a nice large park to take a walk around it. They have baseball fields, basketball courts and a kids park. There is also an excercise area and a skate board park. They do not have a dog park but lots of room to walk your dog.
