Silverwood Park

Have you been to the newest addition to Three Rivers Park District?

Silverwood Park, in St. Anthony, is “devoted to the integration of nature-based experiences and artistic creation”

I will be spending a lot of time there as an “arts educator.” The park and its mission really excite me; the potential of using art to teach science – and science to teach art – hits home with my two greatest passions. However, this doesn’t change my business goals; I will still have lots of time and energy to dedicate to Ami Thompson Consulting LLC.

I highly recommend checking out the park. The visitor center is brand new, Silver Lake is beautiful, and the paved paths are extremely welcoming to people of all abilities.

UPDATE: I am sad to report that I am no longer working at Silverwood. I found myself to be hopelessly overcommitted and needed to let go of something. So with a sad heart I resigned, but it was a wonderful experience. I encourage everyone to visit the park – and keep your eyes open for the Great Horned Owl!
