Palm Springs Parks and Recreation Master Plan


Client: Kounkuey Design Initiative (KDI) for the City of Palm Springs California Parks & Recreation Department
Date: 2024-2025
Role: Project Manager, Senior Urban Planner
Location: Palm Springs, California

The City of Palm Springs is a unique desert community nestled at the base of the San Jacinto Mountains. Located on the ancestral lands of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, who continue to steward over 31,500 acres in and around Palm Springs, the city is home to 44,000 residents and attracts over 14 million tourists annually. To meet the evolving needs of both visitors and locals, Palm Springs has undergone significant transformations to enhance its walkability, bikeability, sustainability, and resiliency. Central to these efforts is the City’s parks and trails system, which plays an important role in fostering community and a sense of place for all. 

I was the project manager for this project for Agency Landscape + Planning, who were subconsulted by KDI.
