Park Areas

For information about non-Parklife parks: see Parks and Plazas

Players with the Parklife expansion are able to create their own city parks, amusement parks, nature reserves, and zoos. Draw a Park Area in the same manner Districts are drawn, and use a Main Gate to determine what kind of park it is. Once the main gate is built, draw paths around the area and place various buildings and props to raise its entertainment value.

Main Gates

One Main Gate is required for each park area, and for each park type there are two Main Gates to choose from. There is a regular Main Gate and a Small Main Gate, and they both fulfill the same role of establishing park type and providing an entrance point.

	Building		Building
	Amusement Park Main Gate		Small Amusement Park Main Gate
	(City) Park Main Gate		Small (City) Park Main Gate
	Nature Reserve Main Gate		Small Nature Reserve Main Gate
	Zoo Main Gate		Small Zoo Main Gate

Only one main gate may be used per Park Area, and if additional gates are desired, then Side Gates are used.

Creating a Park Area

A very small Park Area will be created upon plopping one of the four types of Main Gates or Small Main Gates. This Area must be enlarged in order to place additional buildings within the Park Area. Alternately, a Park Area may be created first, and then the Main Gate can be placed within it.

Creating or enlarging an area is achieved with an area paint brush found in the Districts and Areas menu in the game. See Districts and Areas for more detailed information on creating an Area.

Leveling up

Placing a Main Gate will establish a level 1 park. Parks will level up from one to five stars by producing Entertainment and having visitors. As Park Areas level up, additional assets will be unlocked.

Park Maintenance

Park Maintenance buildings produce "Park Maintenance Vehicles" to maintain your parks and plazas.

Park Maintenance vehicles will travel around the city, even outside of their "coverage" area, and maintain all parks and plazas. Three parks will be serviced during each vehicle's work shift, and then it will return to the Park Maintenance Building.

All parts of a Parklife park are maintained by a visit to the Main Gate of the park.

Parks do not fall into disrepair, but when they are "maintained", they get a temporary boost in their effectiveness. This functions much like the "Road Maintenance" from the "Snowfall" DLC. The boost fades over time until it is back to normal.
