Parks are vital to the health and spirit of a community. Thoughtfully designed public spaces strengthen neighborhoods, create a sense of belonging, and connect community members of all ages to the natural environment. When people feel safe, supported, and welcomed, they are able to grow, explore, and thrive.  That’s why we are launching the Palm Springs Parks Foundation, a 501(c)(3) in partnership with the City’s Parks & Recreation Department—to invest in community well‑being and ensure our parks reflect the beauty and character of our world‑class city. Our vision is to create vibrant public spaces that foster health, joy, and connection. We envision parks and community spaces that bring people together, celebrate the essence of Palm Springs, and inspire generations to come.

Well‑designed and well‑maintained parks:

• Promote connection and belonging

• Encourage participation in the natural environment

• Provide access to relationships, resources, and recreation

• Strengthen neighborhoods with inclusive places for play, celebration, rest, and gathering

Great parks don’t happen by accident—they take heart, vision, and community support.
Let’s build something beautiful, together.
