The four lighted tennis courts, two lighted basketball courts, picnic areas, ball field, and children's playground area are major attractions. The park is under the watchful eye of a full-time parks maintenance worker. Rancho Mirage's second park was dedicated to the memory of the late Michael S. Wolfson, former Mayor and Councilman. This park, which also fronts on the Whitewater Wash, is a passive park facility. The park was specifically designed for the visually impaired, a Braille trail and scent gardens are highlights for the many visitors to the park. Rancho Mirage's third park, the Cancer Survivor's Park, was built by the Bloch Foundation on City property southwest of City Hall. The park was built to honor the survivors of cancer and provide hope for all cancer patients. Many beautiful sculptures, reflecting pools and tiled benches are featured at this specially themed park. Rancho Mirage's fourth park, the Magnesia Falls Neighborhood Park, is a joint-use facility in conjunction with Palm Springs Unified School District and the Family YMCA of the Desert. This park serves the immediate neighborhood located near Rancho Mirage Elementary School.

This park, with its winding paths, is utilized by desert enthusiasts and the nearby Rancho Mirage Elementary School.

FY 2004-OS • The 33.06% decrease from FAY 2003-04 is due to the net effect of no loan repayment in this fiscal year, increased salary and benefits and increased maintenance costs due to the new 25-Acre Community Park. • Continue with the Water Management Program in an effort to reduce water consumption. 244 ST~4~FING SU1~li~ARY FY 02-03 Authorized Title/Ran~e Number Positions Bldg./Parks Maintenance Worker II (27) 1 Bldg./Parks Maintenance Worker I (25) 1 Total Positions 2 FY 03-04 FY 04-OS Authorized Authorized Positions Positions 1 1 1 l 2 2 245 CITY OF RANC901~RA6E FOND FINANCW, SUMIMABY FOHD 218 PARI~AND FEND ciN of a nc o MiaacE 0 ~ ~ FY Ol-OZ FY 02-03 Ac_ foal Budget Beginning Fund Balance Reserved for Cancer Survivor Park Reserved for Mountain Park Reserve for Future Public Facilities Reserve for Quimby Fees Undesignated Fund Balance Total Fund Balance Revenues Expenditures.
