Take in Downtown

No visit to Downtown Rapid City would be complete without a stroll down its streets. Breathe in the fresh air and take in the sites. Visit the artfully sculpted presidential statues. Enjoy the cascade of colors created by over 130 hanging baskets and planters. Downtown is teeming with history just waiting to be unraveled.

On the edge of Downtown you will find the Memorial Park Promenade, a 27.5-acre green that is filled with the Memorial pond and fountain, formal rose garden, statues, the Berlin Wall Memorial, Veterans Memorial and band shell. The park serves as an urban link to the Downtown area, Rushmore Plaza Civic Center and Journey Museum. The property for Memorial Park was acquired by the City of Rapid City after the 1972 flood, and was developed as a memorial to the 238 people who lost their lives during the flood.
