Civic Center Park

Sunny park with palm trees, green grass, and a blue sky with scattered clouds in the background.

Civic Center Park is Palm Desert’s crown jewel when it comes to local green space. Just over five miles from Emerald Desert RV Resort, this expansive park has everything you need for a relaxing day outdoors. Wander through beautifully landscaped walking trails, or find a shady spot by the duck ponds to enjoy a peaceful break. The park is equipped with tennis and basketball courts, a skate park, and a large amphitheater that hosts community events and concerts. Families will appreciate the playgrounds and ample picnic areas, while pet owners can take advantage of the dog park. The park is clean, well-maintained, and free to enter. It’s the perfect spot for a casual stroll, morning jog, or evening picnic. If you’re staying at the resort and want an easy, low-key outing that offers something for everyone, Civic Center Park is a must.
