Cone Park — and a lot more! 4

101 Index

one Park isn’t just for winter. Or a blustery fall, for that matter.

The recreation park also has a splash pad, which makes it ideal during those hot summer days (or a hot summer night of Explorers baseball, which is right nearby).

Opening last winter, the tubing hill, ice skating rink, day lodge – and, now, splash pad and trail loop — is Sioux City’s newest destination and winner of MSN’s “best new tourist attraction in Iowa.”

Located near Lewis and Clark Park (at 3800 Line Drive), the 700-foot tubing hill and its amenities attracted more than 20,000 visitors in its first winter of operation. Now, it’s poised to increase those numbers in the summer and build on them in the first full winter of operation.

Want more? Among other new additions to the recreational world: the bicycle-sharing service LimeBike, which begins in spring, splash pads at five locations, and trail connections throughout the city.

One will connect the Floyd River and Outerbelt Drive, another will connect to the west arm of the Outerbelt Drive Trail near the Clark Early Childhood Center, and a third will extend from the Riverside Aquatic Center to Florence Avenue for seven-tenths of a mile along the riverfront.

The city also hopes to begin work on the long-awaited 1.5-mile connector along the riverfront connecting the Chris Larsen Park and Chautauqua Park trails.

Sioux City also has planted a variety of prairie grass and wildflower blends at Prairie Park, the 58-acre area just off Lewis Boulevard directly south of the wastewater treatment plant. The park is slated to open this spring.

And, if that’s not enough, plans are underway to develop the riverfront with plenty of outdoor activities.

Ready to get fit?

Siouxland is the place to be.

If that hasn’t whetted your appetite, we’ve got more than 101 other ideas to consider.

Page through this guide, then get started. You’re burning daylight.

The Akron Opera House is a 4-story structure built by the American Life Insurance Company of Des Moines in 1906, in exchange for a promise by Akron residents to purchase insurance from the company.

TIM GALLAGHER, SIOUX CITY JOURNAL

The Akron Opera House WHAT: The Akron Opera House, currently being restored to its turn-of-the-century glory, is one of Iowa’s remaining historical gems, kept alive by community spirit. Built in 1905, the Opera House held its first performance, “The Homeseekers,” in February 1906. Over the next 100 years, an array of live performances played at the Opera House — Chautauquas, theater, Lyceum speeches, medicine shows and opera. Akron was on the Pembina rail line, which brought traveling troupes of actors, musicians and politicians to rural communities. A certain magic happened when players came to Iowa and mingled with the locals. Community members could see famous people and taste the culture of such large cities as Kansas City, Chicago and Minneapolis. The Opera House has six to seven shows per year.

WHEN: Year-round.

Siouxland history Historic George Shannon Trail WHAT: This 240-mile trail marks the 16 communities in Northeast Nebraska where Pvt. George Shannon, the youngest member of the Lewis & Clark Expedition, passed through while he was separated from the group.

On Sept. 11, 1804, he was spotted on the Missouri River shore barely alive. He had had nothing to eat for 16 days but wild berries and a rabbit he shot with a stick from his gun after he used all of his ammunition. Wayside signs mark historic moments in Shannon’s life, as well as 13 life-size wooden chainsaw statues of Shannon, each in a different pose and one complete with a horse, located in participating communities on the trail. The rugged wooded terrain of the Shannon Trail

is also reportedly where Jesse James hid, in an area known as Devil’s Nest, a spot where a curious formation of trees and brush on a hillside spells the word “DEVIL.” WHEN: Open year-round.

WHERE: 16 communities in Nebraska: Bloomfield, Bow Valley, Center, Creighton, Crofton, Hartington, Lindy, Niobrara, St. Helena, St. James, Santee, Verdel, Verdigre, Wausa, Winnetoon and Wynot; and two historic Native American territories, the Ponca and Santee Sioux Nations.

MORE INFO: 402-667-6557, Corps of Discovery Welcome Center on U.S. Hwy 81 in northern Cedar County, or shannontrail.com

Spirit Mound Historic Prairie WHAT: The Lewis & Clark Corps of Discovery had heard tales of “a hill of little devils” that was said to be inhabited by spirits. It was rumored that these little people could kill people with their arrows at great distances. At the mound the expedition didn’t find any little people but did find a “most butifull landscape.” Spirit Mound Historic Prairie is open for hiking and nature observation and is in the process of being restored to native prairie grasses. Because of modern dams on the Missouri River, there are very few places where a person can stand today and know that Lewis and Clark stood in the same exact location. Spirit Mound is one of those few sites.

Spirit Mound, which spans 320 acres, is home to a rich variety of prairie wildflowers and grasses, and fritillary butterflies, birds and other prairie animals.

WHEN: Open year-round when State Park is in operation.

WHERE: 31148 South Dakota Highway 19, Vermillion, S.D. MORE INFO: Park entrance license not required. Free hiking trail and wheelchair accessible. Drinking water, toilets and picnic tables. Visit gfp.sd.gov/state-parks/ directory/spirit-mound

InterestIng Facts about golF Golf is played all over the globe. Golf is one of the world's oldest sports, boasting a rich history. Golf is a sport of skill that can involve not only athletic prowess, but also brain power. Here are some interesting facts about the game.

• To this date, golf is only one of two games to be played on the moon. The other is a javelin throw.

• Long before the advent of tees, golfers played off of hand-built sand piles.

• In 1889, Ab Smith inadvertently coined the phrase "birdie," when he hit a shot he defined as a "bird of a shot."

• Making a hole-in-one during a round of golf is quite a challenge. However, the odds of making two are incredibly low, at one in 64 million.

• Only around 20 percent of golfers have a handicap below 18. The United States Golf Teachers Federation defines handicap as "a measure of a player's current ability over an entire round of golf, signified by a number. The lower the number, the better the golfer is."

• The word "caddy" comes from "cadet," the French word for "student."

• A regulation golf ball contains 336 dimples.

Gardner Cabin Historic Site WHAT: The cabin was built

by Rowland Gardner in 1856. In 1857, a band of Wahpekute Dakota Sioux, under the leadership of Inkpadutah, killed 34 settlers and abducted many others.

Most of the Gardner family was killed in what came to be known as the Spirit Lake Massacre, one of Iowa’s most widely known historical events. The carnage was likely a reprisal for a series of atrocities committed against Inkpadutah’s clan near Sioux City. The restored cabin contains furnishings from the frontier life of the

period. Also on the grounds are a gravesite and a monument to the settlers killed during the uprising.

Other musical fascinations include an 18th century Swisshouse organ painted in the traditional folk style, and one of only two guitars by Antonio Stradivari known to exist.

Seven fun outings for the whole family

Looking for inspiration for your summer vacation?

Here are some suggestions for outings that the whole family will love.

1. Zoos, aquariums, insectariums, etc.

There are plenty of places where young and old alike will have fun discovering all kinds of animals from here and around the world.

2. Amusement parks. Amusement parks and theme

parks compete in originality to give you an adrenaline thrill, lure you into exciting games of skill or plunge you into a magical world that will appeal to everyone.

3. Water parks.

Water slides, wave pools, water jets, waterfalls and water games: these are all great places for cooling off and having lots of family fun.

4. Festivals, fairs and exhibitions.

Music, arts, culture,

agriculture, food, humor and sports: there’s something for all tastes and all ages. In addition, many of these activities are free or very affordable.

5. Interpretive centers and museums. Have fun observing frogs, visiting a mine or discovering the skeleton of a dinosaur.

Explore a submarine or see reenactments from a time out of history. You’re sure

to find something that will captivate both you and your children.

6. National and provincial parks.

What sounds good to you? Camping, swimming, kayaking, hiking, picnicking or mountain biking? There’s no lack of opportunity in these parks.

7. Drive-in theaters.

What better way to end the day than watching a good movie? And the kids will be happy

to get special permission to stay up late!

So, where are you going to start?
