Pickleball at Demuth Park

Pickleball courts at Demuth Park are under reconstruction starting from September 22, 2025.
The City of Palm Springs Department of Parks & Recreation will begin construction on the highly anticipated Demuth Park Pickleball Courts Expansion Project on Monday, September 22, 2025, requiring the temporary closure of the existing courts at 4365 Mesquite Avenue.

The project will transform Demuth Park into a premier pickleball destination, adding 22 new courts, including a dedicated tournament court, to meet the growing demand for the sport. Planned upgrades also include enhanced lighting, new sidewalks, shade structures, and additional trees to improve comfort and aesthetics for players and spectators alike.

Construction is expected to last approximately eight months, with a grand reopening projected for spring 2026.

To ensure players don’t miss out during the renovation period, the City has partnered with the College of the Desert, which is offering 12 temporary courts near its satellite campus on South Hermosa Drive, near East Baristo Road. These courts are already open for public use.

During construction, the only Pickleball instruction through the Palm Springs Recreation Department will be offered at the Demuth Community Center on Thursday mornings. There are options for private, semi-private, and group drill classes starting at 7:45 a.m. indoors. Contact Sean Hinton for more information at Sean.Hinton@palmspringsca.gov
