South Park is one of Oshkosh’s oldest parks. It was developed around three large lagoons that bisect the park from west to east. The water for these lagoons is derived from storm sewers as well as a large private stone quarry located to the west of the site that pumps its drainage into an underground channel, which in turn empties into the first lagoon on the park’s western boundary. The lagoons were reconstructed in 2018.
This popular park includes a splash pad, basketball and tennis courts, shelter buildings, open space, wooded areas, meandering trails, and fishing opportunities in the lagoons. An inclusive playground was installed in 2015.
