The Dinosaur Park Visitor Center and parking lot will open to the public May 1.
Most of the park, including the accessible pedestrian route will be open with a few areas remaining under construction.
Contractor crews will continue construction activities through May and most of June.
The renovation project began in September 2022.
The project includes upgrading Dinosaur Park with accessible pedestrian routes, code-compliant safety features, and new and upgraded visitor amenities including site interpretation.
Dinosaur Park improvements were among the items approved in the 2019 Vision Fund allocations by the City Council.
The $3.5 million project is funded with $1.6 million from the Vision Fund and the remainder from the Rapid City Parks and Recreation Department’s Capital Improvements Project (CIP) Fund and government facilities fund.
