## The list

1. [Ironwood Park](https://ourplayday.com/places/ironwood-park-palm-desert) (playground, Palm Desert). An obstacle-course playground for ages 5 to 12 in a lightly fenced park, with desert walking loops around it.
2. [Palm Desert Civic Center Park](https://ourplayday.com/places/palm-desert-civic-center-park-palm-desert) (playground, Palm Desert). Playgrounds, one with soft spongy flooring, beside a pond with ducks, so there's a duck walk between climbs.
3. [Berger Foundation Iceplex](https://ourplayday.com/places/berger-foundation-iceplex-palm-desert) (ice rink, Palm Desert). Public skating in the arena's building, and you can rent a skating aid, so a first-timer has something to hold on to.
4. [Get Air Palm Desert](https://ourplayday.com/places/get-air-palm-desert-palm-desert) (attraction, Palm Desert). Wall-to-wall trampolines, foam pits and a ninja course, with toddler-only sessions for the smallest jumpers.
5. [Palm Desert Aquatic Center](https://ourplayday.com/places/palm-desert-aquatic-center-palm-desert) (pool, Palm Desert). A recreation pool with waterslides and diving boards, a splash playground and a rock wall, beside the civic center park.
6. [The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens](https://ourplayday.com/places/the-living-desert-zoo-and-gardens-palm-desert) (garden, Palm Desert). Giraffes you can feed, a rhino savanna and a splash pad by the café, so there's a place to cool off halfway round.

## About this list

Every place here is a listing on Play Day, and a place is listed only when something positive is known about it for kids. Each listing carries the kid facts (high chairs, changing tables, kids' menus, wheelchair access) with the source and month of each. A list needs at least three places to exist.
