Wild Meadows Park is a newly planned four-acre park located on the northeast side of Sioux Falls. The neighborhood is a newly constructed residential area with a mix of long-time residents and new young families.
As this area continues to expand, the need for outdoor space and opportunities for recreation has increased. This part of Sioux Falls lacks accessible community spaces, and the new proposed park will provide recreation, play, and a place for the community to come together as the neighborhood continues to develop.
In May 2025, when this area first became available for park consideration, Sioux Falls Parks and Recreation reached out to neighbors to better understand their vision and top priorities for the new space.
