It’s no wonder, hundreds of miles of biking and walking trails connect St. Louis Park to downtown Minneapolis, the chain of lakes and surrounding Western suburbs. St. Louis Park’s Rec Center and Wolfe Park offer a 20,000 square foot aquatic park, two ice skating rinks, sand volleyball courts, basketball courts, fishing, private rental spaces and walking trails. Minnesota is known for its 10,000 lakes where you can enjoy sail boating, kayaking, canoeing, fishing, swimming and paddle boarding at local lakes. Outdoor enthusiasts love the urban setting of the Minneapolis chain of lakes including Lake Calhoun, Lake Harriet, Lake of The Isles, Cedar Lake and Lake Nokomis. Nokomis is the site of the nationally televised Lifetime Fitness Triathlon. And, to our west, the impressive in scale Lake Minnetonka is a water lover’s paradise.

Minnesota Zoo

Heed the call of the wild. St. Louis Park’s Westwood Hills Nature Center’s hiking trails come alive with critters, waterfowl and foliage. In summer, Westwood Lake can be explored by canoe or try your hand at fishing from one of the docks. In winter, snowshoes and kick sleds are available for rent. Plus, the Nature Center’s professional naturalists host interactive classes throughout the year. The Minnesota Zoo in Apple Valley is home to exhibits that provide up-close experiences with animals and their habitats, introducing guests to species from around the globe. Como Park Zoo and Conservatory in St. Paul houses animals and plants from around the world in a metropolitan setting. Sea Life Aquarium at Mall of America gives visitors a glimpse at over 10,000 creatures in their underwater home.

ARTS, CULTURE & ENTERTAINMENT Arts and culture are alive and thriving in St. Louis Park and throughout the metro. Veterans’ Memorial Amphitheater in Wolfe Park hosts concerts, dance troupes, theater and special events. The City of St. Louis Park’s annual summer concert series and Parktacular’s Saturday night concerts are held there. St. Louis Park Friends of the Arts (FoTA) is a nonprofit community organization dedicated to supporting, promoting, and enhancing the arts in St. Louis Park. The group connects people and organizations around the arts, shares arts-related information and resources, and coordinates community arts programs. The Kersasotes Showplace ICON Theatres at The Shops at West End boasts 16 digital screens and every seat in the theater is reserved. Two VIP theaters are reserved for those ages 21 and over with a full bar and restaurant on the same level. Mann St. Louis Park Cinema 6 also offers a convenient place to see new releases. For active entertainment, The Park Tavern and Texa-Tonka Lanes provide bowling fun and Roller Garden provides old-school roller or inline skating. The Shops at West End hosts the Twin Cities Film Fest annually in October, premiering some of the best local and nationally produced films.

Every Father’s Day weekend is St. Louis Park Parktacular, an annual community celebration. The event features live music both Friday and Saturday nights. The festival also offers a parade, competitions, an art hunt, a kids fest, a senior dinner and more. Sabes Jewish Community Center houses The Center for Jewish Arts and Humanities which is dedicated to engaging the community in the exploration of Jewish identity and culture through film, theatre, visual arts and ideas. Sabes JCC also has a full-service fitness facility. Brush Studio and Pinot’s Palette are hands-on painting studios offering instructor-led classes at least four evenings per week.

RELOCATION GUIDE St. Louis Park is a great place to live! Affordable housing, low crime rates, and close proximity to parks, entertainment, shopping and dining all make the city a top pick for people relocating to the Minneapolis and Saint Paul metro.

St. Louis Park is also home to the oldest operating Jewish newspaper, American Jewish World, which started in 1912. Today, the publication unites the main Jewish communities in St. Paul and Minneapolis,

St. Louis Park has 35 active neighborhood associations who work together to unify the community through special events and neighborhood beautification programs.

St. Louis Park has always been progressive when it has come to industry and commerce. The original bundt pan was developed in St. Louis Park by Nordic Ware over 60 years ago. Miracle Mile Shopping Center (shown at top right) opened its first store in 1951 and still thrives today. Excelsior & Grand, a high-end mixed use development of residential and commercial spaces broke ground in 2001 and opened phase one in 2003. In 2009, The Shops at West End opened their doors with an impressive mix of retail stores, one-of-a-kind restaurants and a 14 screen state-of-the-art movie-theater. New multi-use developments are also opening at impressive numbers in St. Louis Park – Ellipse on Excelsior opened in 2011 and four large, highend apartment complexes are being built in the coming years throughout the city.

St. Louis Park has also been recognized nationally for its quality educational institutions and youth programs. Children First, an initiative that brings the community together to support children and teens, is based in St. Louis Park. The city has been named one of the “100 Best Communities for Young People” by America’s Promise the past six consecutive years. St. Louis Park Public Schools have been recognized nationally by Newsweek magazine as the second best high school in Minnesota and 107th in the nation.

A rich past, a solid future. St. Louis Park was incorporated in 1886 and has come a long way since its humble beginnings of 350 people (45 families). Today over 45,000 residents call St. Louis Park home and thousands of visitors and business people flock to the area to work, play, shop and relax. One such play area has been roadside parks. All but gone now, the roadside parks of Highway 100 were nothing less than a phenomenon – families came out to the highway just for the ride and to picnic among the lilacs. The furniture was stone and the three-family barbeque grills took the name “beehives”. The roadside parks were constructed in 1939 out of limestone cut from along the Minnesota River. There were originally six such parks but today only three exist. In 2009, one of the “beehives” was saved and moved to a Lilac Park along the bike path off Highways 100 and 7.
