## Park and Recreation Infrastructure

Woodside contains six mapped park locations, including South Woodside Elementary School Park and Woodside Area Park. These green spaces are distributed across the neighbourhood boundary according to OpenStreetMap data. The count reflects physical infrastructure rather than maintenance status or accessibility quality for residents.

Two recreation facilities, North Woodside Community Centre and Woodside Bowlarama, provide indoor activity options within the area. The community centre appears in both park and recreation categories, suggesting multi-use functionality. No program details or operating hours are available in the supplied evidence set for these venues. Sources:

## Ferry Terminal Transit Presence

Four transit stop points are mapped at the Woodside Ferry Terminal, designated as Bays 1 through 4. These locations indicate the physical footprint of the ferry service within the neighbourhood. The mapping does not confirm current operational status, schedule frequency, or passenger volume for these bays as of the observation date.

The concentration of ferry infrastructure suggests a significant transportation node within Woodside. However, the absence of route data prevents assessment of connectivity to other Dartmouth areas or Halifax. Residents relying on this transit option would need independent verification of service reliability and timing. Sources:
