A Protoceratops and a Dimetrodon ( Dimetrodon is not actually a dinosaur, but rather a synapsid, and more closely related to mammals than reptiles) were added later on and are located near the gift shop and parking lot. The park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 21, 1990.ĭinosaurs represented in the park include Apatosaurus, Tyrannosaurus rex, Triceratops, Stegosaurus, and an Edmontosaurus annectens (formerly Anatotitan which itself was formerly Trachodon). Admission is free, however steep flagstone stairs may limit handicapped accessibility. The park is located at 940 Skyline Drive and is maintained by the city of Rapid City. Sullivan also designed the Apatosaurus (formerly thought of as a synonym of Brontosaurus) at Wall Drug nearby in Wall, South Dakota, the Christ of the Ozarks statue in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, and the dinosaurs at the now closed Dinosaur World in Beaver, Arkansas. Constructed by the city of Rapid City and the Works Progress Administration, WPA Project #960's dinosaurs were designed by Emmet Sullivan.
Dedicated on May 22, 1936, it contains seven dinosaur sculptures on a hill overlooking the city, created to capitalize on the tourists coming to the Black Hills to see Mount Rushmore.
