On Thursday, October 29, a new sign was placed near the entrance of Split Rock Park. Made by King Skull Metalworks, a business located just outside of Garretson, the 4 foot-by-7 foot steel sign consists of four 150-pound sheets of metal that were powder-coated. The v-shaped sign, which was installed along the rock wall to the east of the entrance, is visible from east, west, and south along 5th Street and Main Avenue. The former Split Rock Park sign will be designated as surplus by the City at a future date.
Pictured above are City employees Jordan Doane, Ryan Nussbaum, and Zach Uhl as they lift two 150- pound sheets onto the wooden posts. They were able to enlist the help of the SD DOT, which drilled the holes and installed the posts earlier in the day.
