The September 2022 edition of The La Quinta Gem featured an article on a proposed wave park development in La Quinta. This article was included in The La Quinta Gem as a paid editorial piece by the developer. We received a lot of feedback about this piece from you – the La Quinta community.

First and foremost, it’s important that you know that The La Quinta Gem is an independently-published community magazine produced by the La Quinta Chamber of Commerce. We strive to feature articles, news and updates for your benefit.

The City of La Quinta proudly sponsors a section of the magazine featuring City-specific programs as well as a message from the City Manager’s office. Additionally, we source articles from our local business community to help deliver information we hope you’ll find useful. 

Our recent feature on the wave park was intended to be educational. In lieu of featuring this information as an advertisement, we elected to use a Q&A approach in an advertorial format to address some of the questions that have been circulating about this proposed project.

The Board of the La Quinta Chamber of Commerce and our publishing team all want to take a moment to acknowledge and thank you for sharing your points of view on this topic.
