OUTLAW SQUARE

The Construction of Outlaw Square began in the fall of 2018. The city square is located on the corner of Deadwood Street and Main Street at the former site of Deadwood’s City Hall and the Deadwood Theater.

Deadwood was seeking a square to bolster its entertainment venues and give families more activity options while visiting historic downtown. The Square features a large stage built with heavy timbers to handle major acts. Fronting Main Street is a historic-replica gazebo that is an architectural recreation of the original meeting place for townspeople. A water feature utilizes an 1890’s spigot and the Main Street entrance is framed by a recreation of the historic gallows. A 4,000sf engineered synthetic Ice skating rink can be used during any season. When the skating rink is not in use, visitors can gather on a synthetic turf lawn to relax and enjoy entertainment. Reclaimed pavers from Deadwood Street were used as hardscape and a Historic Opera House stacked stone foundation wall was preserved for display.

Wyss Associates completed the site design, including grading, hardscape, landscape and irrigation.
