Theodore Wirth Park, Regional park in Golden Valley and Minneapolis, United States
Theodore Wirth Park spans 759 acres with two golf courses, Wirth Lake, Birch Pond, mountain biking paths, and cross-country ski trails throughout its natural landscape.
The park started in 1889 with 66 acres and received its name in 1938 to honor Theodore Wirth, superintendent of Minneapolis parks from 1906 to 1936.
The Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden within the park maintains 600 plant species and 130 bird species across multiple habitats and walking trails.
The developed areas operate from 6 AM to midnight, while undeveloped sections remain open from 6 AM to 10 PM, with access through bus, bike, or car.
A geographic marker in the park indicates the 45 degrees latitude line, marking the exact midpoint between the equator and North Pole.
