The Demuth Park Neighborhood overlooks the picturesque greenery of Palm Springs’ largest park. The beautiful, 61 acre Demuth Park, located off of Mesquite Avenue East of El Cielo, has many amenities. It is an ideal environment for everything from a picnic to a wide variety of outdoor sports and activities. All with a stunning mountain view in the background! The neighborhood got its start as the first new housing of the postwar boom, known then as the Veterans Tract. It was also the site of the largest fire in Palm Springs’ history when the lumber used for building materials went up in flames. As with many Palm Springs neighborhoods, Demuth Park has a celebrity history as well. Actor Robert Dix, along with his wife, Darlene Lucht (from the Frankie Avalon beach movies), resided on Mountain View Drive. The home of big band singer (and real estate superstar) Eadie Adams is on South Calle Santa Cruz. The Demuth Park Neighborhood is a very diverse. The area has a creative spirit, and has attracted many types of artists, tradespeople and business owners, among others. A true variety of interests are represented here.
