Another successful Woodside Kids Fishing Derby!
1 June 2024
Thanks to everyone that participated in the annual Woodside Park Kids Fishing Derby! We had over 80 people (over 30 kids) turn out and enjoy a glorious, sunny day. Many fish were caught and the kids left with fond memories and prizes provided by our Woodside Park HOA.
A very special thanks to our friends at Colorado Parks and Wildlife (Officers Scott Murdoch and Jake Sonberg) who stocked the pond with beautiful Rainbow Trout, provided free tackle and bait for the kids, and provided instruction for those of us who needed it.
Big thanks to:

It was my first time attending the Fishing Derby and I regret not having done so sooner. I highly encourage you to check it out next year. Hope to see you there!

Broadband Initiative (Updated 8 January 2025)
Highline Communications (formerly Southpark Telephone) in Fairplay received state and federal grants to deploy fiber optic, highspeed internet in the Staunton State Park area to include Woodside Park. The most up-to-date information on this project can be found at their website. If you sign up now and during the initial roll-out in Woodside, the price to have your home connected to the fiber optic backbone is only $200 regardless of the size of the lot or distance to the road. Homeowners are strongly encouraged to sign up for this service, even if you don’t intend to use the service, as it is a great value that will be added to your home. It is estimated that having a fiber-optic connection increases the average home value by 3%. If you decide to connect after the initial roll-out, it will be much more costly and pricing is based on linear feet from the house to the road. If you have questions about fiber optic, you can call Highline and discuss with their staff at 888.212.0054. Additionally, Elk Falls HOA maintains an excellent website with updates on this very important broadband initiative. Click here. |
