$7.5 Million Upgrade Begins at Demuth Park in Palm Springs, Dog Parks to Temporarily Close
Construction began today on a major $7.5 million-plus upgrade at Demuth Park in Palm Springs. City officials say the improvements are designed to enhance safety, accessibility, and overall amenities for families and pet owners who use one of the city’s most popular parks.
The project includes building new permanent large and small dog parks, adding ADA-compliant parking spaces, and converting a two-acre dirt lot into a 165-stall paved parking lot with upgraded drainage systems. Crews will also repave existing parking lots, restore sidewalks and pathways, and construct a new restroom facility to better serve visitors.
City leaders say the improvements are part of a broader effort to modernize park infrastructure while ensuring safer and more convenient access for residents and guests.
During construction, both dog parks at Demuth Park will be closed. Residents are encouraged to use the David H. Reddy Palm Springs Dog Park while work is underway.
The project is expected to be completed in October.
