Looking for a peaceful way to kickstart your Saturday morning in St. Louis Park? Look no further because the Walk the Park event has your back. Scheduled for Saturday, September 13 from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m., this community get-together invites locals to tread through the scenic Bass Lake Preserve/George Haun Trail. All interested hikers are encouraged to meet at the starting point in the Melrose Center parking lot, located at 3525 Monterey Drive, as detailed in the St. Louis Park, MN bulletin.
But what's more, Walk the Park isn't a one-time gig – it's a recurring date with nature, marked on every second Saturday of the month, where community members can enjoy 1 – 2-mile strolls through different parts of the park's trail system, embracing both the beauty and the camaraderie of St. Louis Park life. And don't worry about the weather putting a damper on the day; if it's raining, snowing, or if you find the temperature disagreeably chill at below 40 degrees, organizers have a backup plan: an equally engaging indoor route at the St. Louis Park Middle School, specifically at the back entrance door 16, to be precise located at 2025 Texas Ave. S. assures that the walk goes on.
The initiative doesn't stop there; additional walks are already in the pipeline with locations set to include Westwood Hills Nature Center on October 11, the North Cedar Lake Regional Trail on November 8, and Lamplighter Park wrapping up the year on December 13. These future events are, like the rest, scheduled from 9:30 - 10:30 a.m., ideal for those who like their routine with a side of fresh air and leaves underfoot, according to the City of St. Louis Park's announcement.
