William Noordermeer Formal Gardens are named for William Noordermeer who served as the Superintendent of Rapid City Parks from December 1965 through February 1985. Bill was instrumental in designing many of the gardens in Rapid City. The Formal Gardens are located in Sioux Park on Canyon Lake Drive. These gardens have over 10,000 annuals and perennials arranged in over 70 beds designed in a European formal design. The unusual and unique flowers are labeled and the beds have grass walkways to encourage visitors to examine the floras.
