Tour Points of Interest:

X Park: In October 2022, the La Quinta X Park hosted a grand opening to celebrate the completion of the state-of-the-art park. The 32,000 square foot facility features a concrete pump track, three bowls of varying depth, and a street course. Skateboards, BMX bikes, roller skates, and scooters are welcome. The park features a pro shop fully stocked with apparel, shoes, skate decks, bike accessories, and rental equipment. Action Park Alliance (APA) manages the day-to-day operations including membership sales, programs, and events. On average, the park hosts 2,600 action sports athletes per month. Many of the park users are Coachella Valley residents, however the park is frequently visited by athletes from the Inland Empire, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Orange County. APA provides a variety of programming including individual skate lessons, skate camps, best trick contests, and Friday night jam sessions. With support from the City, APA has also coordinated special events including Hotwheels Superchargers, skate competitions, and El Gato Classic. Several professional action sports athletes have visited the park including skate legends Eddie Elguera, Steve Caballero, and Tony Hawk. The park is open 12:00pm to 9:00pm Wednesday – Friday and 9:00am – 9:00pm Saturdays and Sundays. Currently the park is closed Mondays and Tuesdays.

Old Town La Quinta: Nestled at the foot of the Santa Rosa Mountains, Old Town is La Quinta’s gathering place and Main Street. Here you will discover over 30 cafes, shops, boutiques, salons, and services in a setting treasured for its architectural charm and village atmosphere.

Old Town was inspired by one man’s dream. After traveling throughout Europe and living in small coastal towns in Northern California, developer Wells Marvin moved to La Quinta with his family in 1997 to develop new homes. They brought with them a love of art and the California Renaissance architecture that defines the beauty of Santa Barbara, Carmel and the historic La Quinta Hotel and Resort.

Washington Street Apartments: Washington Street Apartments, a 140-unit affordable housing complex for low-income seniors from the Coachella Valley Housing Coalition in La Quinta, re-opened in late 2019 after a $48 million renovation and expansion that nearly doubled its capacity.

Civic Center Campus: The La Quinta Civic Center Campus is a 17.5 acre park adjacent to La Quinta City Hall, La Quinta Senior Center and La Quinta Library. It is located on the corner of Washington & Calle Tampico. It has a water feature and also includes a walking path, picnic tables and public art throughout.

Highway 111: The Highway 111 Corridor is a two-mile long, 400-acre region- al commercial hub at the center of the City, extending from the western city boundary, just east of Washington Street, to the eastern city boundary at Jefferson Street. The Corridor is a crit- ical, centrally located component of intraregional travel through the Coachella Valley that accommodates about 40,000 vehicles per day. The intersection of Highway 111 and Washington Street in La Quinta is one of the highest volume intersections in the Coachella Valley, carrying over 70,000 vehicles per day.

The retail, services and restaurants along the Corridor generate over 3/4th of the City’s sales tax revenues. Ensuring the Corridor’s economic resilience is essential to the City’s future.

Opening on December 14, 2022, Acrisure Arena is the Coachella Valley’s newest entertainment destination and home to the AHL’s Coachella Valley Firebirds and the Berger Foundation Iceplex.
