By Simir Shah
This 18-acre north Palm Springs park has a ball field, basketball courts, play structures, restrooms and the James O. Jessie Desert Highland Unity Center. The city has been replacing the playground with a custom Aerial Tramway-themed, all-abilities design featuring shade, accessible swings, a sensory 'Serenity Spot' and the city's first solar-lit playground, so check the opening status before you go.
