Desert Recreation District Announces Fall Parks Renovation Schedule in Cathedral City

As desert evenings begin to cool down and our favorite time to be outdoors approaches, Desert Recreation District (DRD) will be conducting annual reseeding at several City of Cathedral City park locations to ensure our green spaces are lush and ready for the upcoming season.

This seasonal maintenance gives the grass the refresh it needs after a hot summer, allowing it to come back vibrant and ready for every picnic, soccer match, and leisurely stroll.

The following parks will be closed for reseeding:

• Dennis Keat Soccer Park - CLOSED September 15 - October 20, 2025
• Panorama Park/Dog Park - CLOSED September 15 - October 15, 2025
• Ocotillo Park - Prep days September 29 - October 3; CLOSED September 29 - November 3, 2025
• Century Park - Prep days October 6 - October 10; CLOSED October 6 - November 10, 2025
• Esperanza Park - Prep days October 13 - October 17; CLOSED October 13 - November 17, 2025

Alternative Options: While Panorama Dog Park undergoes its seasonal renovation, dog owners can visit Esperanza Dog Park, which will remain open until its scheduled closure begins October 13.

Signage will be posted at all locations to notify park users of closure dates. The reseeding process is essential for maintaining healthy, vibrant grass that can withstand heavy use throughout the peak outdoor season.

Thank you for your patience while our parks receive their seasonal care. When the gates reopen, you'll be greeted with fresh, green fields ready for everything from morning walks to weekend games.
