Lifestyle, Culture & Why People Love McKennan Park
The social and physical center is McKennan Park itself — a 37-acre green space featuring a scenic pond that doubles as an ice skating rink in winter, a rose garden, horseshoe courts, tennis courts, a playground, and a gazebo. On a Saturday morning in summer, the park is alive with families, dog walkers, joggers, and neighbors catching up on the benches.
The McKennan Park Neighborhood Association is one of the most active in Sioux Falls — organizing the annual McKennan Park Ice Cream Social, holiday lighting displays, and park concerts. The 26th Street corridor along the neighborhood’s edge has evolved into one of Sioux Falls’ premier dining destinations: Josiah’s Coffeehouse, Ode to Food and Drinks, Sanaa’s Gourmet, and The Source.

Parks, Amenities & Things to Do
The park features the Mediterranean Sunken Gardens, a restored 1926 bandshell, a Statue of Liberty replica, and the “Pillars of the Nation” memorial — four stone pillars at the park entrance, each constructed from rocks representing all 48 contiguous states, erected in 1941.
Active amenities include: free wading pool, 8 lit tennis courts, basketball court, shuffleboard, tournament-play horseshoe pits, open picnic shelter, and the bandshell open lawn. The pond freezes in winter and becomes the neighborhood’s ice skating destination.
