Lake Cahuilla Up for 30-Year Lease Extension; Supervisor Perez Plans to Support It

LA QUINTA – An agreement that would give a new 30-year lease for the operation of Lake Cahuilla Veterans Regional Park, which has become a popular fishing hole, will be voted on Tuesday.

“This park is part of our history, part of our culture and part of the fabric of the Coachella Valley and the County of Riverside,” said Supervisor V. Manuel Perez. “I am thrilled that we are looking towards a long-term future for Lake Cahuilla Veterans Regional Park, in which we are going to keep this important asset open and a future of investment with major improvements coming to the park.”

Supervisor Perez commended the work on this by the three agencies at the lake, the Riverside County Regional Park and Open-Space District, the Coachella Valley Water District and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. He plans to support the agreement at Tuesday’s meeting of the Riverside County Board of Supervisors.

The agreement will also go before the Coachella Valley Water District Board of Directors for approval on the same day.

According to a staff report, the project will enhance the quality of life for Riverside County residents by maintaining access to clean and safe outdoor recreational activities. It will also strengthen RivCoParks by prioritizing strategic investments that promote alternative transportation methods, economic growth, and resilience.
