About the Project
The City of Palm Desert is excited to announce an upcoming renovation of the playground area at Civic Center Park, the heart of our community and one of the City’s most popular recreation destinations.
Following City Council’s anticipated contract award to Western State Builders in December 2025, construction is scheduled to begin in mid-February 2026 and is expected to take approximately 90 days to complete.
This project will replace the existing playground with a brand-new, modern play structure designed to encourage active play, imagination, and connection among children of all ages. The improvements include:
New playground equipment and shade structures
Upgraded safety surfacing
Enhanced lighting and landscaping to complement the park’s natural beauty
Civic Center Park is one of Palm Desert’s most beloved community spaces, offering recreation, relaxation, and connection to residents and visitors alike. After years of use, the existing playground is due for an upgrade to meet modern safety standards and provide a more inclusive play experience for children.
This renovation reflects the City’s ongoing investment in quality public spaces — ensuring that Civic Center Park continues to serve as a welcoming, family-friendly destination for generations to come. The new design prioritizes accessibility, comfort, and sustainability, while adding playful design features and improved shade to make year-round outdoor play more enjoyable.
