DTSF wants to create ‘Musical Playscape’
From staff reports
Downtown Sioux Falls Inc. wants to create a music-themed playground at Falls Park West.
Musical Playscape would be built near the Levitt Shell, which is going to offer at least 50 free concerts annually.
The musical playground is still conceptual but could include musical play equipment, oversized instrument sculptures and traditional play equipment.
The downtown organization is competing for a grant from Gannett Co. Inc., the parent company of USA Today and the Argus Leader, to fund the estimated $100,000 to $150,000 cost.
Locating Musical Playscape on the far side of the Levitt Shell is a “perfect opportunity to locate such an amenity,” DTSF said in its pitch, “taking advantage of the expected social dynamics of the site to engage children’s imaginations.
