BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The La Quinta X-Park is one of the premier action sports facilities in Southern California,
featuring a combi bowl, pump track, street course, pro shop, and a variety of
programming. In August 2021, the City issued a request for proposals for skatepark
management services, and APA was identified as the most qualified operator based on
its experience and expertise in action sports programming and facility management. On
October 19, 2021, Council approved an initial one-year agreement with APA, and on
May 2, 2023, a subsequent agreement for a three-year term ending June 30, 2026.
Since assuming operations, APA has maintained a safe, clean, and active facility while
delivering programs and events that have increased public use and enhanced the Park's
profile as a destination venue. Programming has included skate lessons, skate camps,
and best trick contests, in addition to special events such as the WCMX World
Championships and Hotwheels Superchargers. APA has also coordinated appearances
by professional action sports athletes including Tony Hawk, Eddie Elguera, Steve
Caballero, X Games Gold Medalist Leticia Bufoni, and the Red Bull Skate Team.
Since opening, the Park's attendance has steadily increased, underscoring its growing
popularity with residents and visitors. APA has helped drive this growth by managing the
Park's membership program, which averages between 1,500 and 2,100 users each
month and has issued more than 2,000 annual memberships to date. Extending the
agreement ensures uninterrupted park operations and allows APA to continue delivering
high -quality events and programs at the Park, with plans already underway to expand
and enhance future offerings.
On May 5, 2026, Council considered Amendment No. 1 and approved extending APA's
services for two additional years, as well as expanding to seven-day operations year-
round. The amendment has been revised per Council's direction above and the expanded
hours are reflected in blue font in Exhibit A, which also provides for the ability to adjust
hours of operations upon mutual agreement of both parties and executed in writing.
ALTERNATIVES
As Council approved proposed Amendment No. 1 to the agreement with APA on May 5,
2026, staff does not recommend an alternative.

areas, whichever is less. Proposed compensation to be allocated for each option as
