With the start of school, the Sioux Park pool will operate with adjusted hours. Pool hours will be noon to 7 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays and 3 p.m. – 7 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays.

The 11th annual Wags and Waves event hosted by the Humane Society of the Black Hills is slated for Labor Day Monday from 1 p.m. – 4 p.m. at the Sioux Park pool. The water will be drained from the pool after the event.
