Sioux Falls, SD (KELO-AM) Sioux Falls Parks Chief, Don Kearney, says construction will really begin the week of April 20th on the city's first indoor aquatic center.
City officials held a news conference Monday at Spellerberg Park. Kearney says the rest of Spellerbeg will remain open during construction. He says some 70 trees will have to be taken down, but will eventually be replaced with about 90 trees.
Corner stakes are already in the ground which will give residents an idea of the size of the aquatic center.
Kearney says some site preparation will take place the week of March 30, and trees could start being removed the week of April 13. Opening day should be in the fall of 2016.
