Dan Dugan Park

Accessible Recreation

Tucked into the landscape of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Dan Dugan Park offers a welcoming space where everyone can enjoy outdoor activities regardless of ability. This shared escape balances active play areas with quieter spots meant for catching your breath or having a chat with friends.

Play Areas

Kids five and up will find joy in the park's playground with accessible equipment - a thoughtful touch that ensures children of all abilities can play side by side. No one gets left out of the fun here.

Got a competitive streak? The accessible basketball court awaits your next game, whether you're shooting solo or gathering friends for a pickup match. Soccer enthusiasts haven't been forgotten either - three soccer goals stand ready for impromptu matches or practice sessions when inspiration strikes.

Gathering Spaces

When it's time to bring people together, the park's spacious picnic shelter (a generous 20 by 40 feet) provides an ideal backdrop for everything from birthday celebrations to casual weekend gatherings. Just keep in mind there's no electricity available, so plan accordingly. If you're not under the shelter, you might want to bring your own shade, as the park doesn't offer many naturally shaded areas.

Amenities

Staying hydrated is easy thanks to the park's accessible drinking fountains. Note that these are designed for human use only, so you'll need to bring water for your four-legged friends.

Before you head out, it's worth knowing there are no public restrooms on site, and you won't find much in the way of signage throughout the park. A little advance planning goes a long way toward making your visit more enjoyable.
