RAPID CITY, S.D. – Rapid City’s future community sports complex now has an official name.
City leaders, the Rapid City Sports Commission, and Sanford Health unveiled the name Sanford Health SportsPlex during a public open house at The Monument last evening. The event also featured the first conceptual renderings of the facility, giving residents a glimpse of proposed amenities and design options. Attendees had the opportunity to provide feedback on features including turf fields, court layouts, walking tracks, playgrounds, and other recreational attractions.
Officials say the SportsPlex is expected to become a major regional destination for youth sports, tournaments, recreation programs, and community events. Rapid City Mayor Jason Salamun outlined the project’s vision, financing, and construction timeline, with the facility currently expected to open by 2029.
The project is supported by a 20-year, 10-million-dollar naming rights partnership with Sanford Health. The facility will be built on a 22-acre site in northeast Rapid City and is expected to serve athletes, families, and visitors from across western South Dakota for years to come.
