About Mckennan Park
McKennan Park’s residential streets surround a public park south of Downtown Sioux Falls. Historic-property renovation checks, direction-specific Blue and Pink bus stops and seasonal pool access shape everyday decisions here. The neighborhood guide covers schools, grocery hours and the nearby medical campus in more detail.
Historic-property checks before a renovation
The City’s Historic District Viewer is the starting point for a home’s designation. The neighborhood name covers a broader area than the designated historic district. The preservation planner at 605-367-8889 handles project questions, and the City publishes a separate preservation application. The full neighborhood guide links the permit contacts and describes local housing and schools.
The park stays open beyond the pool season
McKennan Park at 400 East 26th Street opens daily from 5 a.m.–10 p.m. Its gardens, playground, courts and picnic areas offer several kinds of outings; the shelter can be reserved separately. The free wading pool uses a seasonal schedule and is closed for the season as of October 24, 2026. Open the park profile for its location and visitor details.
Blue Line on Minnesota, Pink Line near Avera
The Blue Line follows Minnesota Avenue, while the Pink Line serves the East 20th Street and Cliff Avenue hospital corridor. Return trips use different stops: at Cliff/26th, for example, Pink’s outbound stop is on the northwest corner and the Downtown-bound stop is on the southeast. The guide gives the Blue Line’s different cross streets and links both timetables.
