Pet-Friendly Mornings in Palm Springs
Mix and mingle over a cup of Koffi at The Corridor. A large central lawn and garden is a great way to begin the day. From here, stroll to the Uptown Design District to the North or head downtown to the south. You'll find dog-friendly sidewalks in Palm Springs both ways.
Palm Springs Dog Parks & Outdoor Play
Some puppers don’t like to stray (pun intended) from the heart of the action. Also, hiking might be more of a big dawg activity. If your canine companion is compact or – let’s face it – a bit lazy, you might opt for a Dog Park instead of a rigorous mountain excursion. Our gated getaway allows your furbaby to unleash (pun intended) its wild side! The Palm Springs Dog Park features fountains and fire hydrants, covering every facet of your pet-centric needs.
