Pickleball, yoga among activities at downtown event
The event launched in May and will happen during First Fridays through August.
A mother's message after loss
The sound of pickleball will be coming to a stretch of Phillips Avenue this week.
Remedy Pickleball Pub will offer a pop-up pickleball court Friday night in the Raven parking lot.
'We'll have it taped off with the lines and nets out and some loaner paddles and balls and just have the opportunity to come an play and learn the game a little bit,' Remedy Pickleball Manager Geneva Olson said.
The pop-up court is one of many activities at this month's Open Streets event happening on Phillips Avenue between 6th and 7th streets.
The June event is all about wellness.
'Put on your shorts and your T-shirts. We're going to be doing crossfit, we're going to be doing yoga. There's actually going to be a monster truck here, which is not really wellness related, just fun. There's going to be face painting, kids activities, Parks and Rec will be coming out with their mobile rec unit,' Downtown Sioux Falls CEO Brandon Hanson said.
Hanson says the events are designed to bring people together, drive foot traffic to businesses, and inform future development.
'This is pretty underdeveloped. If you have ever walked in this stretch of Phillips Avenue, there's not retail, there's not food and beverage. It's really kind of this desert in downtown and we want to show that it doesn't have to be that way, and there's future projects that are being talked about in these blocks, so what does it look like when we fill it with people and design it to be people first?' Hanson said.
And pickleball is just one of the reasons you may want to check it out.
'You can be 70 and play this game and you can be 15 and play this game and have fun. And so it's really an awesome opportunity for people to get out and get moving. Be social,' Olson said.
The Open Streets events are put on by DTSF and AARP South Dakota.
It runs from 5 p.m. – 8 p.m.
That portion of Phillips will be closed to drivers starting around 4 p.m.

NFL Network's Scott Hanson open to hosting college football version of NFL RedZone
College football fans have held out hope for an NFL-like RedZone since it was announced ESPN would acquire the NFL Network and the RedZone Channel on Aug. 5. NFL RedZone brings football fans seven hours of uninterrupted coverage of redzone attempts and scores across the NFL every Sunday during the NFL regular season. NFL RedZone has been a wild success for the NFL Network, with Scott Hanson bringing in viewers each week. Hanson suggested he would be open to hosting a College RedZone. REQUIRED READING: The biggest college football quarterback competitions still undecided feature elite teams "As for College Football RedZone, which is the big one people are talking about, if Bob Iger (Disney CEO), Jimmy Pitaro (ESPN chairman), Burke Magnus (ESPN president of content) want to him me up, I love college," Hanson said on the "Rich Eisen Show" on Monday, Aug. 11. "I love college every bit much as I love pros." This said… would I do a 'College RedZone'? You @TomPelissero @RichEisenShow While college football fans may drool over what a full day of college football ― usually starting at noon Eastern and ending after midnight on Saturdays ― would look like, Hanson went on to throw water on his idea due to various logistics. "There's a lot of dynamics," Hanson said. "If you were to do college football redzone, first of all, ESPN doesn't have rights to every contract. Second of all, the kickoffs are not all synchronized. Yeah, you get a good batch kicking off at noon Eastern, but they are not all synchronized; they come at different times. The games go throughout the day. "But here's the other thing, if your favorite team is the New York Giants, fine, you know the New York Giants. You can probably still name the other 31 starting quarterbacks in the NFL. If your favorite team is the Alabama Crimson Tide, you know the Alabama Crimson Tide, but you cannot name me 30 other quarterbacks in college football. "You might be able to name the rest of the SEC, maybe, or some of the bigger opponents. So, college is not as accessible to the frontal lobe of the American sports fans as it is in the NFL."
