The in-person event is free and will be located at the shade structures at Panorama Park, 28905 Avenida Maravilla, Cathedral City, CA 92234.
Councilmembers Raymond Gregory and Ernesto Gutierrez will host the event for an informal discussion of issues in Cathedral City.
Improving the quality of Cathedral City’s outside spaces remains a top priority for the City Council. One of the key components that makes parks and outdoor facilities so special is that they’re free for the public to use and provide memorable gathering places for families and people of all ages and backgrounds.
A total of 9 community parks are located within Cathedral City’s boundaries and there’s another on the horizon. City parks and outdoor open space improve our physical and psychological health, strengthen communities, and make our neighborhoods more attractive places to live, work and play.
“City Hall at Your Corner” is scheduled at different times of the day to make it accessible to a variety of schedules. It is your opportunity to share your ideas, let the council know your concerns, and hear the latest news. Best of all, the discussion is free!

Trees play a pivotal role in reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) gases that lead to global warming through the natural process of photosynthesis. Trees absorb CO2 and other pollutant particulates and release pure oxygen back into our atomosphere. By planting a tree, we can help reverse global warming, improve the community’s health, and breathe much easier.
