I was visiting the area for 10 days. I joined in the pickleball games at least 7 of the 10 days. Courts were well cared for. The other pickleball players were friendly and welcoming. This was a big plus as I was a newbe and didn't know anyone. I really enjoyed with people on different skill levels. The park and lots of other activities going. Playground, dog park, tennis courts and a skate park. Some days parking was a challenge. read more

I'm writing this bad review due to lifeguards being very unprofessional and extremely rude to my autistic son. Her name is Quinn! My wife and I went to the park today we had an encounter with one of our lifeguards disciplining and getting in our son's face not knowing that he's autistic and nonverbal. Then, shortly after saying, He shouldn't be here. Which is not right in anyway because we pay like everyone else does to have full access of everything. They are not parents for them to discipline our child. This park has become such a disappointment, our first time here and with the lifeguard being this rude, I would not recommend this to anyone who has special-needs children because they will be treated very poor and pushed to the side and be told that they do not belong here read more

Nice set of pickleball courts in the back of La Quinta not far at all from their small little old town. We stopped by on Friday at 8am and the courts were already 99% full. I semi-anticipated this because it's Spring, lots of tourists and concert goers in town but we were still a bit disappointed that so early it was hard to find a court. The courts themselves are very nice though I will give them that. 5 stars for being nicely painted and maintained. They also had a lot of courts and clear signage as to experience level and offerings on which court should certain level of players play on. Another nice note is they had plenty of shaded seating for watchers and waiters so that's appreciated in the hot sun. The reasons I docked a star were primarily for parking availability and also there could be nicer little perks added. With parking we thought it was odd that they have so many reserved parking permit spots? On a Friday morning only 1 of those permit special spots were being used and the other 15 or so were just open, yet we couldn't park there. Parking was scarce given all of the players which resulted in many parking on the street which didn't make as much sense to me. Also we didn't notice paddle holders for pickleball which all of our local courts have. There's no easy way to navigate who is next to play without those nice visible paddle holders on the courts. We watched players line their paddles all across the ground which seemed kind of unnecessary as those little holders could easily be purchased by parks and rec given how nice these courts appear to be. If there were paddle holders their either wasn't enough or they weren't easy to see given how many paddles were lined up across the floor. Again, not trying to be overly critical but this just seems like a really nice pickleball court and there are some small little upgrades that they could make to ensure this spot is more accessible and up to date. Otherwise, we really liked this area and would happily play here again, keeping these courts on my radar and liked the location from where we stay and the downtown area. read more

This review is for the dog park only... Horrible dog park. There was -- owners don't pick up after their dogs and people don't follow the rules and let their big dogs into the small dog park. Not sure if I will return even though it is grass. Bummed out :-( read more

Not the best. The ambiance is lacking, but the playground is nice enough. I don't love that it's on a busy street. I won't return.

I drive from RM to La Quinta to attend their swim class. I love it. Both instructors are very good. They are the best instructors I've had, and I've had a few. The parking is tough that's why I can't give it 5 stars. There are pickle ball courts which are always packed. And a nice green space to toss balls to dogs or kiddos. Very nice small park. PS the outdoor pool is heated to 85! read more

I love this park! Why? Because when I am cycling in La Quinta, the restroom is always open! And it always happens that I need to use the restroom when I am in La Quinta. And I can fit in there with my bike. So it saves time and provides security. read more

It's nice to have somewhere to go to enjoy the outdoors, especially right now. I love that they have plenty of tennis courts, a large open grassy area, pickle ball courts, a kids playground, a dog park, and a skateboard area! Great place to social distance outside! read more

Easy access lots for everyone even dogs have their own playground! Parking lot is not huge but I have never had a problem finding a spot.

What a great spot for outdoor recreation. The most popular aspect of the park are the pickleball courts. They have tennis courts, a playground, skate park and two dog parks, fully fenced in and a side for small and large dogs. There is also a large grass field and a public swimming pool. The local community are welcoming to visitors and snowbirds. Parking is never an issue, unless there is a pickleball tournament. La Quinta does an excellent job keeping the park clean and safe. read more

A perfect place to play pickle ball. My family and friends love it here! Once covid ends, the jungle gym is the best design for adventurous kids. read more

Pickleball courts, very nice there were 4 courts when we first came here May 2018, now there are 8. It gets crowded, but the wait goes fast, folks line up their paddles and the next 4On go on. Very friendly people too! read more

This is a nice spot to stop for a quick pee-wee for the dog, play for the small kids, grassy area for soccer or skateboarding for the bigger kids. Bleachers too if u just wanna relax & watch someone play tennis. It's not big but it's pretty, accessible, safe & friendly. read more

I'm giving this only 4 stars because the dog area is pretty small. It's divided into two areas -- one for puppies and small dogs, and one for large dogs. But the "large" side isn't large enough for a dog to get a good long run going. But it's a nice park. Ive never encountered aggressive dogs (or owners), and it's well-maintained. read more

I take my dogs to the dog park here. It quaint and quiet. However many dog owners fail to pick up their dogs poop. Ugh. Other dog owners are nice and cooperative! read more
