Full Court Color | September 2, 2026

The City of Sioux Falls held a public meeting on September 2, 2026, to unveil the Full Court Color initiative, a public art project that integrates youth creativity with community recreation spaces. This project involved creating uniquely designed basketball backboards for 11 neighborhood parks across Sioux Falls, inspired by artwork contributed by hundreds of local youth. The initiative was a partnership among the City of Sioux Falls Arts Commission, Parks and Recreation, the Summit League, local artists, and community organizations. The total project cost was approximately $15,000, with the backboards expected to last 5 to 7 years. The project aims to extend the excitement of the Summit League Basketball Championships beyond the arena and into everyday community spaces, fostering a sense of ownership and pride among young residents.
