Palm Desert Dog Parks Slated To Reopen Tuesday

PALM DESERT, CA — If taking your fur baby to the City of Palm Desert dog parks is your thing, it's time to grab that leash and head out the door.

"Here's some tail-wagging good news! The City of Palm Desert's dog parks will reopen for our canine residents and their humans on Tuesday, November 1," the city reported over social media. The dog park is open from sunrise to 11 p.m. daily, according to the city.

All parks were closed from Oct. 3 to Halloween for reseeding, and the natural landscaped Homme Adams Park was left open as an alternative option during the closures.

There are five off-leash dog parks in Palm Desert and eight more nearby in Palm Springs and surrounding cities. Separate dog parks are in place for smaller and larger dogs, and water fountains are available for people and pooches.

Annual closures allow for reseeding grass at area dog parks and in Palm Springs residents were up in arms over those closures. Now, the city has relaxed the hard six-week closure in favor of other plans.

Dog parks will remain open, and all well-mannered four-legged friends are invited to come out, sniff, frolic and chase balls, as per usual.
