About

Silverwood Park in St. Anthony is our stop on this week's, "Hitting The Trails" segment.

The compact park has a number of different ecosystems packed in with about a dozen or so sculptures that can be found along the trails. The sculptures change from year to year and are created by local Twin Cities artists.

About

Nov 23, 2020

Silverwood Park, we often go to this place. It's a great park for walking, bird watching, picnic, fishing and even photo shoots. This video was shot after fall and a day before first snow in the Twin-City. This video was shot casually just to capture the view after fall.

Shot on mobile phone.
