Welcome back to

Last week a showed you a park my newest zone. That is just a fraction of a much bigger park called the Sarai Ecological Community in th middle of a low density residential neighborhood. This community, like many others in Ionica is based on the principles of Ecological Urbanism which is a theory of planning and design for urbanism arguing that landscape, rather than architecture, is more capable of organizing the city and enhancing the urban experience.

In the bottom half of this picture you can see the BATs KonstantinII customized for me so that they'd be able to connect with paeng's parks. Thanks again KonstantinII.

Nothing like being by the pond on a hot summer day. Boats are free for everyone, if they are available.

So far this year no flamingos have been hit or killed by a baseball, but on freak occasions it does happen.

KonstantinII: Good entry my friend! How do you have the birds flying around?

Thanks buddy. Those are JENX Fauna birds from SC4 Devotion

Aaron Graham: Lovely pictures!!! :D

Thanks.

Schulmanator: Very cool! Some unique spots here for sure!

Glad you enjoyed, thank you.

Gugu3: amazing pictures! :)

Thanks.

Terring: Nice and interesting :)

Thank you.

Hazani Pratama: Very Nice!

Thanks

SimCoug: That is a great park - I like your mix of content. Good to see you back!

Nice to be back, thanks. Been keeping track of some of your new stuff, but haven't chimed in recently.

Michelot: Awesome!

Yeah, thank you.

89James89: Looks really really nice, just read through the entire CJ and loved every minute of it, right from the looks at the older cities and the redesigns they went through, up to the sprawling urban metroplois that has become Ionica. Really nice work. James

Glad you took the time to catch up on my CJ. My city has gone through quite an evolution and it continues. Thanks.

pingpong: The waterscape is surely adorable!

Glad you think so, thanks.

Huston: Spectacular contrast between the urban sprawl and natural scenes! A very tranquil looking atmosphere to sum it all up :D

Thanks. I've been building it for a long time. It has been quite tedious layering all the detain and trying to get everything right. But it is paying off.

urielgarcia: Love the flamingos and the pond...the mmp add a lot to the scene.

The do indeed. I'm happy I had this chance to use em. Thanks.

Always nice to see a highly detailed update from you. Great work with the parks. Perhaps those pesky kids were aiming for the flamingos? :P

The really vibrant colors in these images make them really 'spring to life' (It would've been a pun if it were a season before :P ). I have to really admire the way the park is laid out, very serene.

 

Let's just hope that the number of flamingos hit this year by rogue baseballs are zero :P

Very nice park indeed, exciting and lively. Where did you find that baseball field/ballpark?

Great ballparks - Wasn't it Randy Johnson who killed a seagull, or some type of bird with a fastball?  Baseball and birds do not mix.

Magnificent! I love the use of the water, it reminds me a bit of my home town where the houses back right into rivers leading to the lake! Great job as usual!
