• Model steam train rides on Sundays (also Wednesday afternoons) from April to the end of September on the Stoomgroep West track, with separate fares; no rides in heavy rain, and none now until spring
• Barbecue zones are the only places to grill, and the only spots where alcohol is allowed; bring a stand and use the coal bins
• Paid parking after 6pm at the lots by Veluweplein and Melis Stokelaan; street parking nearby is often free before then

Zuiderpark is a 1920s people's park laid out around a large pond, with three big play lawns covering 14 hectares. Around them sit a six-meter play castle, a western playground, a nature playground, a skate park, a city farm, mini golf, a riding stable and an indoor pool.

Kids can hunt for the Ot en Sien statues, climb the De Villierskopje lookout hill and ride a model steam train.
