The Trailhead Building at Theodore Wirth Regional Park is recognized for the innovative architectural use of wood.
The Trailhead Building at Theodore Wirth Regional Park has won the 2020 Beauty of Wood, Wood Design Award from WoodWorks.
A gateway to the Nordic ski and mountain bike trails of the Minneapolis Parks System, the Trailhead Building is used extensively by the public and area high schools for training and competitive meets. The highlight is an innovative mass timber roof that cantilevers in two orthogonal directions and tapers to a point at its tip. The timber is fully exposed on the interior.
