| Additional Information: | A 'site file' exists for this property. It contains additional information such as correspondence, newspaper clippings, or historical information. It is a public record and may be viewed in person at the Wisconsin Historical Society, Division of Historic Preservation. South Park is one of the two earliest parks in the City of Oshkosh. At 26 acres, it is less than one fourth the size of Menominee Park on the north side, but was a vibrant center of south side community life. It features a curvilinear pattern of pathways and a series of three lagoons. Bridges, pavilions and recreation facilities have been added over the years. |
