Frequently Asked Questions
I haven’t heard about this proposed sale. Tell me more.
On April 17, the City of Sioux Falls announced it would purchase the Sanford Wellness Center at the Tea-Ellis location. Sioux Falls Parks and Recreation will operate the facility starting January 1, 2025.
Why is the City buying this facility?
Today, Sioux Falls has less indoor recreation space than the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) recommends, which is 1.5 square feet per person. This purchase helps to close that gap. The 74,000-square-foot facility will allow for indoor recreation in Sioux Falls, including aquatics, court sports, walking/running track, recreation programs, classes, and community spaces for all ages.
What will the facility be named?
On January 1, the facility will be named the Westside Recreation Center. The City anticipates seeking out potential donors, and it may include a naming opportunity for one of them on the building.
Will the facility shut down during the transition of ownership?
No. The building will have not shut down during its transition to a new owner.
