People for Palm Springs Parks (PPSP) advocates for the improvement of our parks and recreational facilities. It is our mission to ensure that every resident and visitor has access to safe, vibrant and well-maintained parks that promote community engagement, environmental stewardship, and overall well-being.
Palm Springs is a global tourist destination and it is our view that the public parks should better represent this world class city. We believe it is the responsibility of the City to organize and deploy its resources to support the recreational needs of the community.
