Desert Recreation District Continues Preparations for Resuming Operations
While we have had to slow down the resumption of operations due to recent changes in COVID-19 cases, we are continuing to prepare to welcome guests back
Safety of our staff, participants, volunteers and guests has been our top priority, and continues to be as we move forward in preparing our facilities and training staff on new protocols and procedures. Due to the rapidly-changing nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have to adjust the timing and manner of programming for the near future.
New Update from Desert Recreation District
Working towards reopening in upcoming weeks
DRD is working to get the restrooms at the parks reopened as soon as possible after June 12, the date approved by the County and State, and then we are targeting opening our four fitness centers – Indio, La Quinta, Palm Desert and North Shore – in the next few weeks, with our programs such as day camps shortly thereafter.
Important Information for Indio Residents
