Beadle Park

Gateway to Sioux Falls Trails

Found in the city's expansive greenway system, Beadle Park connects to nearly 16 miles of trails that wind along the Big Sioux River. This intimate park connects you to a network that threads through approximately 18 city parks, making it an ideal starting point if you're looking to explore Sioux Falls on foot or by bike. The recreation trail network accessible from here lets you escape the urban hustle without actually leaving the city.

Something for Everyone

Whether you're with energetic kids or looking for a spot to shoot some hoops, Beadle Park offers the basics without any fuss. The playground area gives children a safe space to climb, slide, and burn off energy while you take a breather on a nearby bench.

Need to work on your jump shot? The basketball court is well-suited for a quick pickup game or solo practice session. Planning a family reunion or birthday celebration? The picnic shelter with electricity is available - just remember to arrive early on summer weekends as these spots tend to fill up quickly.

A Piece of Nature

What makes Beadle Park special isn't fancy amenities, but its role in preserving a strip of natural beauty along the Big Sioux River. As part of the city's greenway system, it helps maintain these riverside corridors that give wildlife a home and humans a place to decompress.

The park offers those quiet moments where you can pause by the river, listen to the water, and remind yourself that even in the middle of Sioux Falls, nature is never far away.
