The Arc of Dreams is America's newest landmark sculpture created by South Dakota Artist Laureate, Dale Claude Lamphere. The sculpture is a tribute to the dreamers of the past, present and an inspiration to the dreamers of the future.
The monumental stainless steel sculpture spans across the Big Sioux River downtown nearly the length of a football field between 6th and 8th streets. At the center of the Arc of Dreams is a 15-foot gap, 85 feet above the river, representing the leap of faith dreamers take to see their dreams come true.

Falls Park, the city's namesake. The 123-acre park is located just north of downtown, along the Big Sioux River. An average of 7,400 gallons of water drop 100 feet over the course of the Falls each second.
