I LOVED SOUTHSIDE PARK, IT WAS AMAZING!!!!!! We will definitely go back again. That is a huge park with lots of different areas like play equipment for the kids, which was the coolest play equipment I have ever seen at a park and my kids plus my friends kids loved it and have been asking to go back since we went. We do not live in woodstock but it is totally worth the drive. Besides the equipment the kids used there is baseball diamonds and a river that flows through it with different birds. There is pavilions that I imagine can be rented for get togethers or if you need a picnic table for a quick bite to eat you could sit there to eat. OMG the bathrooms were the cleanest, nicest smelling public washrooms I have ever had the pleasure of using.... seriously!!! I was floored by that. I haven't even got to the best part yet. In this park, is the Southside aquatic center and they have the coolest wading pool/splash pad. Now I don't know how it normally works but right now during covid(and maybe always) you have to book your spot online and each child is $3 to get in but I am telling you it is totally worth that $3 per kid because it is a full play structure with the tipping bucket and all the water spraying everywhere plus 2 small water slides but the purple water slide is a big winner. Our kids must have gone down that thing 100 times. Parents are free and you can go on the water slides and equipment too. Literally with little kids you could spend $20 plus each to go to a big water park to spend your whole time in the kiddie area that is the same as this wading pool/splash pad. I didn't get to see everything in this park and maybe we seen everything that was cool already but it was very cool and we will be going back again and again. Brantford has nothing like this and it is worth the 40 minutes give or take drive to spend a day out in woodstock and the Southside park. Other cities should take a look at this park and take notes. Great for the whole family. You won't be disappointed.
