Good morning, Sioux Falls.

Sioux Falls is revamping the historic McKennan Park wading pool into a modern water play area with a two-person slide and updated bathhouse (featuring five new restrooms and a concessions area) and it is set to open in early June with free admission to families.

Sioux Falls will host the annual Big Sioux River Greenway Cleanup on Saturday, April 25 from 10 a.m. to noon at seven sites — including Falls Park and Rotary Park — and Friends of the Big Sioux River will host Party for the Planet at Sertoma Park from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

At its annual Founders Day event in March, Startup Sioux Falls honored local founders and supporters as nearly 400 startups and over 600 community partners drove growth.

The group’s downtown hub saw daily usage rise 50% and event bookings increase sevenfold (a sign of rising local momentum).

Sioux Falls Regional Airport will not move ahead with its planned C-store after feasibility studies showed that traffic, competition and local demographics would require a subsidy.

Officials said they will explore other development options as the airport expands.
