Freedom Plaza

Formerly known as Project Phoenix, the Freedom Plaza site is a dynamic downtown revitalization project along Highway 62 in the heart of 29 Palms that will meet the community's recreational, professional, and educational needs. The multi-faceted complex features an 11,000 square foot Community Center with a gymnasium/multipurpose room and culinary arts kitchen, a 4,100 square foot Joshua Tree National Park Cultural and Visitor Center, 10,000 square foot entry plaza, and a three-block-long Paseo. The Community Center will serve as a flexible athletics facility and recreational hub for the community's youth and adults. It can also function as a venue for special events and conferences. Through the City's new partnership with Copper Mountain College and the Morongo Unified School District, the culinary arts kitchen in this new Community Center will serve as a teaching space for the next generation of aspiring chefs. A beautiful outdoor event stage graces the corner of Freedom Way and the Paseo parking lot between the Community Center and Joshua Tree Visitor and Cultural Center. Freedom Way's newly designed protected walkway also transforms into an event space that businesses, organizations, and community members can reserve for special events such as festivals, farmer's markets, art shows, car shows, and musical events. A decade in the making, the City of Twentynine Palms proudly unveiled and officially opened Freedom Plaza on March 12! See the grand opening celebration here: Freedom Plaza Grand Opening.
