## The list

1. [Rancho Mirage Community Park](https://ourplayday.com/places/rancho-mirage-community-park-rancho-mirage) (playground, Rancho Mirage). A shaded play area with climbing structures and equipment built for kids with disabilities, with an exercise path around it.
2. [Bighorn Overlook Trail](https://ourplayday.com/places/bighorn-overlook-trail-rancho-mirage) (park, Rancho Mirage). About a quarter mile of switchbacks up to a picnic shelter with a view, a real hike that small legs can finish.
3. [Children's Discovery Museum of the Desert](https://ourplayday.com/places/children-s-discovery-museum-of-the-desert-rancho-mirage) (museum, Rancho Mirage). More than 60 hands-on things to do, from a giant sandbox to building race cars and a trike track. No strollers inside, so bring a carrier.
4. [Rancho Mirage Library & Observatory](https://ourplayday.com/places/rancho-mirage-library-observatory-rancho-mirage) (library, Rancho Mirage). A kids' area with a fish tank, and observatory tours open to every age, so it's the library with a telescope.
5. [Sunnylands Center and Gardens](https://ourplayday.com/places/sunnylands-center-and-gardens-rancho-mirage) (garden, Rancho Mirage). Nine acres of gardens on flat paved paths, so it's an easy stroller walk with a café at the end.

## 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.
