I had never built on such a big lot before, and figuring out how to fill it was a challenge. My first idea was to have a wedding arch after a bridge, and that called for a giant lake!

As I rarely build community lots, I wanted this place to be multi-purpose, so the bar building came right after. I had a lot of trouble with the color scheme, since most purple base game swatches are a disgusting shade, and even the kitchen went through a bunch of phases.

Afterwards, I started working in the main area, but the place still looked quite empty. That's when I had the idea to make a greenhouse, a gazebo and a treehouse! I ended up running out of space for the telescopes (how ironic), so they were moved to one of corners, while the clunky magical well that was there got hidden behind the gazebo tree.

Overall I'm quite proud of the end result. I might not have much interest for community lots, but parks are just the best.
