Outside magazine named Minneapolis as one of the Best Bike Cities in North America in fall 2012.

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.

Nokomis is the site of the nationally televised Lifetime Fitness Triathlon. And, to our west, the impressive in scale Lake Minnetonka is a water lovers paradise.

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.
