If you're wondering why there's a huge parade of cyclists @ the fountain around the last Friday of every month, it's "Critical mASs". Not exactly putting a positive spin in cycling in SD &other citiesUpvote3Downvote
Josh HoustonJuly 19, 2023Don't swim in it! Actually this isn't a recommendation so maybe swimming in it would be fun, this is more of like a suggestion because you would get wet!UpvoteDownvote

"Your kids will like it! Admission $20 from 3 years old. May be quite crowded and expect a queue on the entrance during busy days. Good for infants too. Well maintained. Movies are also cool!"
