West Side Park Reopens to Fanfare

A good sized crowd enjoyed some pleasantly warm temperatures on Monday evening for the reopening of West Side Park, and the dedication of the new pedestrian bridge.

Doug Ekeren, CEO of Avera Sacred Heart Hospital, describes how important it was to be a part of this renovation project…

The pond is still filling with water, which will hold over 3 million gallons when it reaches the proper depth.

Mayor Stephanie Moser talks about the new pedestrian bridge…

Yankton City Commissioner, Nathan Johnson, summarizes why this park is so important to the community…

Due to supply chain issues, there are still areas that need to be finished, like the meditation maze and sun dial, plus some old and new playground equipment needs installed.

Some of the old slides will be reinstalled, and we await delivery of a new fire truck play set.
