At one point in St Paul’s history, Swede Hollow Park was home to vibrant immigrant communities. It is now a quiet park below the bustle of downtown, a streak of green in an otherwise urban setting. A multi-use trail loops along a trickle of a stream and, at its south end, links to the Bruce Vento Nature Sanctuary.
A note to those considering bringing children along: at many points, a steep set of stairs is required to access the Hollow. There is no playground or other facilities (including water). As with all parks, exercise caution when visiting, particularly when the sun goes down.
Birding at Swede Hollow
Minneapolis Parks Foundation recommends this park for birding because of its natural areas and proximity to water. You’ll need to pack your own gear, but we have a birding checklist here.
