Beautify the Park
Beautify the Park
You're invited to participate in the city’s Beautify the Park initiative this spring! Take some time to walk around your property, your alley, your neighborhood, and your community. Pick up litter, leaves, and any other remnants of winter, and give your neighborhood a fresh start this spring. It’s amazing what a few minutes can do, and it’s a great way to show community pride. Participate in one of the events listed below or simply pitch in to help a neighbor or improve your own property.
Photo op! Once you’re done cleaning up, take a minute and let us know what you and your friends did to Beautify the Park with some photos. Email photos with short descriptions of what you did and where, to jzwilling@stlouispark.org, and watch this website for a special feature highlighting your hard work.

2010 SLP Tree Sale
The tree canopy of St. Louis Park's private properties is dwindling. For every new tree residents plant, five more trees are lost to storms, pests, and disease. The presence in Minnesota of emerald ash borer, an invasive pest that has the potential to wipe out all our ash trees, makes it even more critical to start planting tomorrow's trees today.
In 2010 the City of St. Louis Park has teamed up with Tree Trust to make it affordable for you to reforest your own yard. Please do your part to restore the city's tree canopy by planting one of these trees this spring.
