Playgrounds and things to do with kids in Palm Desert
Ironwood Park
An obstacle-course playground for ages 5 to 12 in a lightly fenced park, with desert walking loops around it.
Palm Desert Civic Center Park
Playgrounds, one with soft spongy flooring, beside a pond with ducks, so there's a duck walk between climbs.
Berger Foundation Iceplex
Public skating in the arena's building, and you can rent a skating aid, so a first-timer has something to hold on to.
Get Air Palm Desert
Wall-to-wall trampolines, foam pits and a ninja course, with toddler-only sessions for the smallest jumpers.
Palm Desert Aquatic Center
A recreation pool with waterslides and diving boards, a splash playground and a rock wall, beside the civic center park.
The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens
Giraffes you can feed, a rhino savanna and a splash pad by the café, so there's a place to cool off halfway round.
