The realization of a grand vision to restorethe natural beauty of our city's most historicand important landmark

Falls Park is the city's historic birthplace. The almost mystical allure of the falls has always been a powerful influence. Sioux Falls exists as a city today because the land speculators who staked town site claims here in 1856 came in search of the cascades, inspired by stories of their impressive beauty and power. The Falls of the Big Sioux River is nature's gift to us - to the citizens of this fine city and to all who visit this historic landmark. Our gift to this community and to all who come to experience the enchanting beauty and scenic splendor of this natural wonder is the promise to maintain the richness and beauty of this magnificent setting to keep it accessible, beautiful, and safe for all to enjoy.
As you walk through Falls Park and listen to the calming sound of rushing water on a warm summer day, view the seasonal brilliance of the fall foliage or the crisp frozen mist of winter, we welcome you and wish you a pleasant outdoor experience and memories that will last a lifetime.
Mayor Dave Munson
