While Parkway 25 Luxury Apartments is fully adjacent to big city living at its finest, we still like to reflect back on the beauty of nature as often as possible. Combine that with a wide variety of recreation, dining, shopping, and adventuring options in beautiful St. Louis Park, and you’ve got a perfect recipe for epic summer fun. For P25 residents it’s easy, with numerous walking and biking trails, lakes, and nature preserves located just a hop, skip, and a jump away. Learn more about a few of our favorite neighborhood nature and recreation amenities below:

Wolfe Lake & Park

For those with an interest in fishing, Wolfe Lake may become your favorite local destination, with four fishing docks and over 3 acres of tranquil lake scenery. Catch Large Mouth Bass, Northern Pike, Yellow Perch and more, or take advantage of the park’s other amenities such as picnic shelters and pavilions, a walking path, playground, and more. More info HERE.

The Bde Maka Ska Loop

In addition to beaches, water recreation, and more, our fair Bde Maka Ska is a sure-fire bet for getting in your steps. Take a leisurely walk around the full lake with a friend to take in the scenery. There are over 3 miles of pedestrian and bike trails encircling the lake — the perfect invigorating wind down to a busy work day. Learn more HERE.

Aquatic Park

While you may prefer to stay close to home in Parkway 25’s own deluxe pool and zen courtyard, there’s no denying a classic water park experience is pure summer fun. Head to St. Louis Park’s very own Aquatic Park for access to 4-story water slides, spray arches, water geysers, an obstacle course, diving boards, and more. Grab a snack at the concession stand or bring your own picnic! More info HERE.

Westwood Hills Nature Center

Hike, explore, and learn at Westwood Hills Nature Center, where the flora and fauna of the area is at your fingertips. Stroll extensive nature paths to see the sights, and learn more about local animal and plant life inside the park’s education center. With great kid’s programs, little ones can learn all about nature, biology, and more through fun, informative day camps. Learn more HERE.

At Parkway 25 Luxury Apartments in St. Louis Park, we pride ourselves on the details. Whether it’s creating a chill vibe in our zen courtyard common space, or making sure each individual unit includes thoughtful, functional details. Since Spring has sprung, relaxing on your patio balcony should be a top priority. In today’s post, we’ll share a few patio decor tips and trends that we love:

Container Garden

Create a mini-paradise on your balcony by filling it with a variety of colorful flowers, green leafy plants, and even edible herbs. For St. Louis Park residents, Home Depot and Bachman’s both offer a huge selection, otherwise ordering online is an option. We love a good Hardy Hibiscus plant, which produces plate-sized blooms in the summer, and can be easily brought inside during winter months. A container garden is a great way to surround yourself with nature at home!

The Right Furniture

When space is limited, choosing the perfect furniture pieces to outfit your patio can be a bit of a challenge. Consider how you plan on using it: will you be hanging out with friends in the evening, or simply enjoying your morning coffee? For the former, a cute, affordable bistro table could be a nice addition; the latter may be better off with a set of ergonomic lounge chairs — perfect for conversation, reading, sunbathing, and more.

Punch it Up with Accent Decor

Design the perfect ambiance with beautiful, unique objects. Hand-paint planter pots to give them your own creative touch, or see what’s on trend at Target, Ikea, Crate & Barrel, and more. We especially love Target’s Opalhouse collections for home decor. Discover pillow, candles, baskets, and other home items for modern meets boho chic flair. Keep it simple with a couple artistic accent pillows, or go over the top with tropical color — summer is coming, after all.
