According to the co-creators of South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the main characters are canonically somewhere between 8 and 10 years old. However, the show doesn’t focus too much on how old the characters are supposed to be, mostly due to a combination of acting on a floating timeline to keep people from aging and having the child leads engage with subject matter kids wouldn’t be expected to be involved with.
In the special episode “South Park: Post Covid,” the series jumps decades into the future, and the main cast of South Park have aged considerably. However, the show has rarely marked a significant passage of time, and the passage of time is rarely acknowledged in a significant way.
According to a Reddit post, if the South Park characters had aged in real-time, they would be 31 or 32 years old as of 2020.
