In 2021 we assisted Fennell Design, Design Studio by CRS, and a bevy of engineers in the Master Planning of an Aquatic Adventure Park in Sturgis. The site we studied was the old racetrack grounds, and while the City ultimately has landed this idea at another site, the concept of a lake based fun destination park has caught the City’s imagination!
The city’s citizen committee has been promoting this idea for several years, and their ideas are amazing! The team’s role was to explore the various ways the project could fit together, test the design options, identify and address various concerns about the concept, and to identify a reasonable expected cost. Tallgrass helped by developing the concepts, assisting with the rest, helping host the public meeting we held, and compiling the booklet , plans, and presentations we made!
Working with Ron, Gene, and Brian was a real highlight for us on this project and we are excited to see the city’s next steps! It’s going to be a very successful park for them!
