Single-family homes surround one of Sioux Falls's most popular parks
Each summer, people from all over Sioux Falls head to Terrace Park to cool off in its outdoor pool. Their kids play games at its baseball fields, parents pack picnics to enjoy in its Japanese gardens and they feed ducks on the shore of Covell Lake. Scenic evenings are spent paddling its waters, painted pink by the setting sun's reflection. "Historically, Terrace Park is one of our pioneer parks, if you would," says Assistant Director of Sioux Falls Parks and Recreation Brett Kollars. "It's home to Covell Lake, which provides urban fishing, and is neighbored by athletic facilities like a ballpark for youth play. It has Japanese gardens within the park and one of our city's more popular pools." The park's surrounding single-family homes make up the Terrace Park neighborhood, a residential oasis a mile and a half northwest of downtown Sioux Falls. Downtown workers move here to settle into comfortable homes with their families while living only a short walk from one of the city's most beautiful parks.
Terrace Park and its cozy homes come together to create a welcoming community.
Visitors to Terrace Park can play baseball or a game of three-on-three.

Endless amenities at the neighborhood's waterfront park
Saturdays are spent at the neighborhood's eponymous park, an expansive facility with amenities for recreation and relaxation lining the shore of Covell Lake. Kids play baseball on its Little League fields while siblings climb on the playground, and others set up picnics beside waterfalls in the park's Japanese gardens. "We partner with a local horticulture group that specializes in Japanese garden architecture to keep up the gardens and maintain its beauty," Kollars says. On hot summer days, families cool off at the park's pool, where parents sign their kids up for swimming lessons and themselves up for water aerobics. "We recently installed new shade structures," Kollars says, also noting the popularity of the pool's drop slides, a structure that drops its passengers from a suspended point above the pool – "It's a hit." To relax, locals go for walks along the trail or explore the fishing-friendly Covell Lake from a kayak or canoe. The Sioux Falls Municipal Band performs free concerts in the park's bandshell on summer evenings.
Covell Lake at Terrace Park invites relaxation and outdoor adventures.
The Japanese Gardens at Terrace Park was established in 1928 by former caretaker Joseph Maddox.
