City of Palm Springs

**CITY OF PALM SPRINGS MISSION STATEMENT** *"Palm Springs is an inclusive world-class city dedicated to providing excellent and responsive public services to enhance the quality of life for current and future generations."* Whether you have just moved here, or have always called Palm Springs home, we appreciate that you have chosen to live in our great City. We love it here! Although Palm Springs is a tourist destination, welcoming visitors worldwide, we take pride in the quality of life our residents enjoy. Palm Springs is a full-service City with its own Police and Fire Departments. We have a wonderful library, excellent cultural amenities and great parks (even a dog park for our four-legged friends). Everything is nearby in Palm Springs, whether you want to go hiking, shopping, see a movie, or enjoy a great meal. And because tourism is so important to our economy, we really know how to entertain. We hope you check out our calendar and enjoy some of our many special events during the year, like the Palm Springs International Film Festival and the Festival of Lights Parade and, of course, VillageFest every Thursday night. As you walk, bike or drive through our various neighborhoods, you are surrounded by a sense of community. We offer a variety of architectural styles throughout Palm Springs, but we are united in the pride we have in our homes. So, no matter where you live in Palm Springs, we hope you get to know your neighbors and take part in all that's waiting for you outside your front door. Enjoy life in Palm Springs. It's a great place to call home.
