City of Palm Desert Freedom Park

Freedom Park has two dog parks, one for small dogs and one for larger dogs. A paved trail to walk around for exercise. The park has great lightning after it gets dark. There also are pickleball, basketball and baseball quarts. The park also has clean restrooms and great picnic areas.

I enjoyed this large park while visiting Palm Desert. Great place for a walk with the dog around the long paved path and also has a decent sized dog park with separate sides for large and small dogs. Other amenities I observed but did not use: playground, restroom, picnic tables under a pavilion, pickleball courts, baseball fields, and a big open field that was being used for a rugby game when I went there on a Sunday morning. Parking was easily available.

Fantastic newly developed park in palm desert. Picturesque mountain backdrop from brand new basketball courts and state of the art playgrounds. Most importantly, 8 top of the line public pickle ball courts to challenge the locals. Just be sure to get there early or wait until the afternoon. Was getting close to full by 9:30 AM on a Tuesday! Also has public restrooms with drinking fountains and dog park. Lots of parking. Softball/baseball fields are under construction. No grass for those yet...

This Palm Desert park has much to offer. There is an enclosed Dog Park; a walking trail; Basketball courts; Softball fields; Soccer fields; Pickleball courts; Sand Volleyball; Children playground; and a large parking lot. So why a 2 rating? The park has been taken over by people who are being privately paid to teach, mostly young children, how to play a sport. But more importantly, so many people let their Dog off their leash outside the Dog Park. There is no monitoring of the Dog leash law and soon, like Civic Center Park, a pup or person is going to get hurt.

I absolutely love it, one of the nicest and most well-kept I have ever been to. I am totally into the world at night, like laying on a big blanket on my back, so softly the sky turns by us, I take pictures of the sky and take a moon bath with a dare to not be wearing anything else for the pictures except for the moonlight 🫦
