Minneapolis was named “Healthiest City in America” by Livability.com in 2015 and Outside magazine named Minneapolis as one of the “Best Bike Cities in North America” in fall 2012. 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 and many can be found close to St. Louis Park. You can enjoy sail boating, kayaking, canoeing, fishing, swimming and paddle boarding at local lakes. Outdoor enthusiasts love 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.

Racers take to the streets and trails in numerous marathons, half-marathons, 5Ks and off-road contests throughout the Twin Cities - all year long.

The City of Lakes Loppet in February invites cross country skiers to compete for prizes or recreationally, and the Twin Cities Marathon, held each fall in

both Minneapolis and Saint Paul, is dubbed “The Most Beautiful Urban Marathon in America.”

Call of the wild.St. Louis Park’s Westwood Hills Nature Center’s walking trails come alive with critters, waterfowl and foliage. In summer, Westwood Lake is a fishing paradise - whether by canoe or off the dock. In winter, snowshoes and kick sleds are available for rent. Plus, the Nature Center’s resident 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.

Go retro!

St. Louis Park and the Minneapolis/St. Paul areas boast a variety of museums and landmarks that take visitors on a walk down memory lane.

Galaxy Drive In in St. Louis Park is an old-school drive-in offering carside service. Along with classic drive in faire, the site offers a fire pit for guests to roast marshmallows over open flames and create their own delicious s’mores. The restaurant is open late Spring through late October. Their website offers open dates.

The Pavek Museum of Broadcasting in St. Louis Park houses one of the world’s finest collections of antique radio, television, and broadcast equipment. The museum has gained international recognition for its continuing efforts in preserving and documenting the history of an industry that has made monumental changes in the fabric of modern life.

In 1939, roadside parks were built along a stretch of Highway 100 called Lilac Way, including one in St. Louis Park. After years of being inoperable and in need of repair, the three-family fireplace along Hwy 100, commonly called “The Beehive”, was moved to a new park along Highway 7 right off the Southwest Trail trail. The park opened in 2008 and includes seating for bikers and walkers.

Roller Garden in St. Louis Park provides guests a chance to slap on some roller skates (or blades) and circle the floor with music and laser lights to set the mood. The skating center offers a variety of open skate times, skating lessons and space for parties and special events.

he St. Louis Park Historical Society’s collection of historical documents is housed in The Depot in Jorvig Park, at 37th and Brunswick. The Depot, built in 1887, is open to visitors from 1 to 4 p.m. Sundays throughout the summer.

St. Louis Park Retail & ShoppingShopping in Minnesota definitely has its benefits. The state offers tax-free shopping on clothing and some of the finest shopping centers and outlets in the country, if not the world. Our city is no exception.

St. Louis Park is home to four lifestyle centers, The Shops at West End, Excelsior & Grand, Ellipse on Excelsior, and Hoigaard Village; a freestanding center, The Shoppes at Knollwood; plus two strip malls, Miracle Mile Shopping Center and Texa-Tonka Shopping Center.

St. Louis Park offers great specialty stores including: Hoigaard’s, Kiddywampus, LuLu & Luigi, Nordic Ware Factory Store, Micro Center and Opitz Outlets.

If you’re looking for a large enclosed mall, Ridgedale Center in comfortably close in neighboring Minnetonka. To our south is the nation’s oldest indoor shopping center, Southdale Center and little bit further south you can find yourself at the massive Mall of America and a home goods favorite, IKEA.

Arts & Culture

Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar & Grill

Arts and culture are alive and thriving in St. Louis Park and throughout the Twin Cities. Performance venues and galleries are sprinkled throughout the area.

St. Louis Park is where you’ll find theatre troupes Public Theater of Minnesota and Maggie’s Farm Theater.

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 in the Amphitheater.

St. Louis Park Friends of the Arts (FoTA) is an active nonprofit community organization dedicated to supporting, promoting, and enhancing the arts in St. Louis Park. They connect people and organizations around the arts, share arts-related information and resources, and coordinate community arts programs. FoTA’s website features a list of local artists and special events.

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 an awesome concert experience, country fans love Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar & Grill which offers national and local acts at least three days per week.

If active entertainment is more your style, The Park Tavern and Texa-Tonka Lanes provide bowling fun and Roller Garden provides old-school roller or inline skating. Or, hit the trail with a Segway or electric bike from Evolve.

The Shops at West End plays host to numerous concerts, family events and special exhibitions. The shopping center’s You Betcha! Minnesota-Made Festival is held annually in late summer and the popular Twin Cities Film Fest which premiers some of the best local and nationally produced films, runs for two weeks in mid-October.

Every Father’s Day weekend in June, the city of St. Louis Park comes alive with Parktacular, a community celebration for families, couples and singles alike. The event features live music both Friday and Saturday nights. The festival also offers hands-on activities, a Saturday parade, competitions, an art hunt, a kids fest, a senior dinner and much more.

Relocation GuidePolitician and former comedian Al Franken, “Fargo” and “The Big Lebowski” writers and directors Ethan and Joel Cohen, Semisonic front man and songwriter for Adele, Dan Wilson, acclaimed guitarist, Sharon Isbin, Pulitzer Prize winning author, Thomas L. Friedman, and “Funkytown” songwriter, Steve Greenberg have all called St. Louis Park home. These famous figures – and our over 45,000 non-celebrities – make our city truly special.

A survey conducted in 2009 for the City of St. Louis Park found that 95 percent of residents take pride and ownership in their neighborhood and a full 97 percent of residents rated the city’s quality of life as “excellent” or “good.”The research company said the 97 percent quality of life rating is the highest of any area suburb.

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 Twin Cities.

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 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.

In the state known for hockey and skating, St. Louis Park schools can hold their own. Benilde-

St. Margaret’s boys high school hockey won the state championship in 2012 and many St. Louis Park Senior High School alumni have gone on to accomplish great things. Class of 1995 St. Louis Park High School graduate Erik Rasmussen played hockey for the University of Minnesota and the NHL, and was named Mr. Hockey Minnesota. Class of 2005 Park alum Angie Keseley played for the Wisconsin Badgers and the U.S. Women’s National hockey team.

In early 2013, Park alumnus and former Golden Gopher football standout, Marc Trestman, was named as head coach of the Chicago Bears.

Years earlier, former St. Louis Park residents made a name for themselves on the ice. Robert

“Bob” Owen helped the 1960 U.S.A. Olympic team earn gold. Earl Bartholome played professional hockey from 1933 to 1952, and his brother, Ken Bartholome, won 14 national speed skating titles and a silver medal at the 1948 Winter Olympics.

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” (shown above left). 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. The historic Milwaukee Road Depot (shown above right) was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1969 and moved to Jorvig Park in

1970. Today it is maintained by the St.

Louis Park Historical Society and open to the public on Saturdays

throughout the summer. 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, as well as those in
