Ruth Hardy Park

It felt like a miracle. Out for a morning walk, after an hour I suddenly needed a restroom on a holiday. I remembered seeing a building in this beautiful park, and I was right-not only was the restroom open, but it had clean flush toilets. What a relief.
Myriad walking paths crisscross the shady park with large green grassy areas. It also borders a wellness park with exercise stations. The park has tennis courts, a playground, and of course, restrooms. I located Cary Grant's former home, as well as Harold Lloyd's home, in the Movie Colony neighborhood surrounding the park. There were lots of dog walkers, kids in the playground, and joggers out on Thanksgiving day.

Ruth Hardy Park is a decent park; it's public and has walking trails, a large grassy area, a basketball court and tennis courts.

Tip: The park is named is part of the City of Palm Springs. It was named for Ruth Hardy, a founding city council member of Palm Springs

The park is dog-friendly, and has plenty of grass :-)

Ruth Hardy Park has quite the reputation around Palm Springs..

Ask the locals and they will tell you what it is

Very calm big park in the heart of palm springs,

loved walking along the sidewalks of this park during my stay here

Clean, safe park with lots of green space to walk our pup around. Lots of parking available as well.

Located at 700 Tamarisk Rd in Palm Springs, in October 1967, The Groovy Show filmed episodes at Hardy Park that aired that same month on KTJ=TV, Los Angeles. The Sopwith Camel and Strawberry Alarm Clock appeared, and Michael Blodgett was the host.

Great park. We stop at this park to walk our dog every time we are in the area. Well kept, clean & safe.

First time coming to this park on a Monday to attend an outdoor workout class.

IT WAS GREAT!

Plenty of parking and the park is so well maintained. Sure beats any City of Los Angeles parks. Most are just awful in need of a major power wash, repair and replanting.

The workout class is free and being organized by a World Gym trainer. Plenty of space and social distancing in this time of Covid. Most wear their masks to arrive and remove them once the are in their socially distant spot. Bring a towel or mat and plenty of water and get ready to dance and workout with like minded people of all ages and fitness levels.

Nice park, except they unnecessarily trim the trees, or should I say "hack" the olive trees on the south/ east sides were just looking good, then today they started chopping live branches off them. This is not good for the environment too much green stuff going into landfills, also we need the trees to clean the air, not to mention shade!
It's as shame they don't have arborists to guide them.
I love trees and it's a shame that so many people think that trees need human help lol.

Such a nice large park with a large open grass area that could be used to play soccer. They have a kids playground area, a volleyball area, a basketball area, and tennis courts. Oh, and lots of free parking too in their parking lot. The only reason I'm deducting a star, is because they should add a shaded area over the playground. After all, this is Palm Springs, a hot desert area!
