An open house at Pierre’s new public storm shelter will be held next week (Aug. 5).
Pierre city project manager Gidget Palmer says the 2,400 square foot structure is located near the tennis courts in Griffin Park.
The Pierre park system’s first fully protected shelter is large enough to hold up to 400 people, is built to withstand 200 mph winds and has remote systems in place to unlock it in the event of a storm. Regardless of weather, the facility serves as a comfort station for campers and park users.
