Give the parks a little love before Valentine’s Day

Creek Crossing

Site of Founders Park North

The Department of Parks and Recreation is seeking public comment on proposed improvements to Founders Park North.

Comments must be received by Friday, February 13.

This area north of Rapid Creek, across from Founders Park, is slated for development to enhance a variety of uses, interpretation, connectivity to bike paths and trails, and improvements to vegetation.

Friends of Rapid City Parks has provided comment in the past, and we urge members to weigh in on this important public space. It includes historically and culturally significant sites, and plays a crucial role in the ecosystem services provided by our greenway, as well as providing recreation for cyclists, hikers, walkers, anglers and rock climbers.

You can see a presentation on the project, and download a questionnaire here.
