Playgrounds and things to do with kids in La Quinta

Reopened in 2026 after a big renovation, with a kids' activity pool beside a new playground, so a swim and a climb are one stop.

A splash pad split into a toddler side and a big-kid side with water cannons, plus a skate park for the older ones.

A diorama of a Cahuilla village and a native animals exhibit, small enough for a short visit with kids.

A lake to fish from, a playground and shade trees, and you can camp overnight, so it works as a whole day or a night away.

A walkable main street of shops and places to eat, with a weekly farmers market.
