Fully one third of our municipal parks lie in the towering shadow or flickering lights of a billboard.
From swings and sliding boards, from gazebos and flower gardens, the view exhorts us to eat, drink, buy, sell, visit and vote.
Friends of Rapid City Parks thinks the view within a municipal park should be framed by trees, clouds and the angles of the swings and slides. Our parks are a legacy for future generations. That means protecting the visual appeal and serenity of this green space in the midst of our busy and growing community.
On June 7, we hope you will join us in supporting consistent new rules that keep Rapid City scenic, and keep the beer bottles and bikini bottoms out of the view from first base, a comfy bench or the sandbox.
You can learn more about the two proposals that will be on the ballot, as well as what citizens are doing to clean up the view of our town, at Scenic Rapid City.
