Things to Do in St. Louis Park
St. Louis Park offers activities and entertainment for every age, year round. During the cold season, Birchwood Park, Browndale Park and Nelson Park become winter wonderlands for ice skating and sledding. Have outdoor fun for hours and defrost in the nearby warming houses. If it’s too cold outside, St. Louis Recreation Center has public indoor ice skating rinks.
Summer family fun is found at the Aquatic Park. Slide down one of the many four-stories-high water slides, jump off the high dive, soak up the sun and let the kids run through the many water sprinklers and geysers. Toddlers will love the whale slide and water obstacle course.
Walking and biking are popular activities in St. Louis Park.
