Duke Watkins Park
Needles, CA
Free
By Simir Shah
Needles' main family park on Flip Mendez Pkwy puts a splash pad and playground next to the city skate park, a pump track, basketball courts and Spike's Desert Dog Park. It's a good stop for a mixed-age group. Shade is limited, so evenings work best in summer.
