Three pools with diving boards, water slides, a splash playground and a climbing wall, on the northeast corner of Civic Center Park. The YMCA of the Desert runs it for the city. It reopened in spring 2026 after a $3.2M renovation. The water-park features are closed for the season now, so check pdpool.com before you go. Palm Desert residents pay less with proof of address.
