Chris Larsen Park basketball courts closed for painting

Angel Wallace, Sioux City Park and Recreation Manager, talks about the new amenities in the redeveloped section of Chris Larsen Park. The site is the former location of the Belle of Sioux City Casino.

SIOUX CITY — The Floyd Pavilion parking lot and basketball courts along the Missouri Riverfront will be temporarily closed as a crew paints and stripes the courts.

The new basketball courts are shown at Chris Larsen Park in Sioux City in June.

The Sioux City Parks and Recreation Department made the announcement in a social media post on Tuesday. The project is expected to take about a week.

The basketball courts are among a number of new additions to redeveloped Chris Larsen Park. Other amenities include an interactive fountain, playground, red bench-style swing, plaza, dog park, overlooks, trails and exercise equipment.
