Our goal was to walk the labyrinth (we seek them out wherever we go) and it took a bit of effort to find it. It is located in the Wellness section of the park that has fitness stations and this labyrinth was paved and a bit small.

About 20 minutes away from Desert Hot Springs. My mother in law and I were awake way before the…read morerest of the family and both of us like exploring and nature so I asked her if she wanted to go hiking with me at 6:30 am. Both of us got ready in 10 minutes and were out the door. The gate is closed and there is even a sign that says "parking lot closed" but we saw other people parking on the street and walking over so we did the same. The RV/campsite you can see from a distance is for the staff that works there, don't be alarmed by it! If you head on the trails toward the RV its very short but brings you into the giant palms and a wooden staircase that goes down to water and palms growing out of it. You can finish this very quickly. When you head out and head to the right there are branching paths here that lead to more hikes in palms, along the river oasis, and more into the mountains. The visitor center looked excellent and had a home made log cabin vibe, we could see some interesting artifacts inside but because the entrance was chained we didn't want to go in without permission even though it would have been easy to just duck under the chains.

Here's what I liked: *Trail around the park to walk and enjoy the trees *Covered play areas (waaay too hot to not be covered) *Several play areas for different age groups *ADA swing *big field for children to run in, I think it's also a baseball field? Here's what I didn't like: *Swings aren't covered, they burned my suns legs *bench area is placed in an awkward area and also it's uncovered as well! 8/10- please get covered seating!!

I had a very disappointing experience with the staff working the counter on June 7, 2026, around…read more9:00 a.m. The woman and man assisting guests were rude, condescending, and disrespectful. The website clearly states that admission is free with a military ID. My brother works with the Air Force as a contractor, but the woman immediately dismissed him by saying he was "just a contractor" and insisted he had to pay. She then turned to me, as I was paying for my own admission, and repeated the same dismissive explanation. If contractors are not eligible for free admission, the website should clearly state that to avoid confusion and embarrassment for visitors. More importantly, staff should treat guests with courtesy and respect rather than speaking to them in a demeaning manner.

I have ALWAYS wanted to see owls in the wild - been chasing them for years but never have been able to see them until my visit here!! So exciting!! I got to see a momma and baby - they are Great Horned Owls - and apparently you can sometimes see the father owl flying food in and out if you get lucky! I also caught sight of another bird I've always wanted to see - a brilliant, gorgeous Vermillion Flycatcher! I also saw finches, hummingbirds, Black Headed Grosbeaks and a Coopers Hawk!! So this park is an excellent little side hike for birders if you're in the area! The park itself is quite nice - well maintained trails winding around, lots of playground equipment in good condition, picnic tables, restrooms etc - and they even have tennis courts and a small skate park! There were a few people out skating and everyone was very respectful. There isn't much shade so I recommend sun screen and hats etc and plenty of water. It has lots of parking - some paved and some dirt - and it's easy to find. It's a very short walk here from the Marsh Trail over at the Preserve- but you can also drive it easily.
