We love this great little park off Kings Mountain Road in Woodside. There is a small day use fee ($6), but that seems pretty good value for a family day out. The trails here are beautiful, shady and well maintained. We usually take the single jog stroller up into the hills there with no trouble.
- Plenty of room for strollers
There’s plenty for the kids to look at along the way: the trails are bumpy, there are lots of fallen trees (my three year old loves speculating what happened whenever he sees a fallen tree), spiders, banana slugs and, at this time of year, masses of colourful leaves.
- The Puppy Dog in the sandpit
Both kids got really into hiking at Huddart, and I love that they are spotting things in the natural world for themselves and then asking about them. The Monkey was particularly fascinated by banana slugs this visit, and the Puppy Dog paid close attention to the curly moss growing on the trees along the trail.
- My little tree hugger
I also love how empty this park is. Our group were the only people we saw during the visit and the kids could run wild and be noisy without fear of disturbing anyone.
