Westwood Hills Nature Center and private golfing
“Westwood Hills has a nature center that’s a huge draw,” says Susan Melbye, a Realtor with Edina Realty, Inc. “There are lots of educational programs and you can have children’s birthday parties at the center.” The nature center preserves 160 acres of woodlands, prairie and marsh as a natural habitat for local wildlife. There are also 3 miles of trails and boardwalk that circle Westwood Lake and create wildlife viewing opportunities for visitors. The zero-energy-certified interpretive center hosts classes, camps and volunteer events for the community throughout the year. While the nature center doesn’t have a traditional playground area, it’s a great place to watch for wildlife or enjoy a serene walk in the heart of St. Louis Park. Members of the Minneapolis Golf Club can book a tee time on their 18-hole course, or enjoy dinner on the outdoor patio overlooking the greens.
