Located on the corner of Utah Trail and Joe Davis Drive, Luckie Park is the City's original community park. Luckie Park features acres of grass and shade trees, a walking path and exercise equipment, four baseball fields, three covered picnic shelters, two playground areas, three basketball courts, a skateboard park, two corn hole pits, a soccer field, and a public pool. The park evolved from its beginnings in the 1930s as the home of the American Legion Desert Outpost 334 to its official dedication on July 4, 1965, as "Luckie Park." Named for land-donor, WWI veteran, and Pasadena physician Dr. James B. Luckie, credited with helping to populate the City by sending World War I veterans suffering respiratory ailments to live and homestead in the dry climate of Twentynine Palms. Veterans and community volunteers built a public swimming pool on the site in 1929. Picnic shelters and BBQs are free to use or can be reserved for gatherings and special events for a small fee.
