Kathy Vale : Fitness Heaven

P. R. certainly left Kathy Vale way more fit than when she arrived. Valians love physical activity -- not only do they bicycle and walk and jog in Spaghetti Park, but they jog, walk and bicycle everywhere in the city -- bus services actually had to be downsized ! And there are sport facilities everywhere, to boot. Just one example, in the Park Lane district :

And don't laugh at curling. Curling IS a sport ! Both precision and stamina are required. Also the ability to imbibe large quantities of beer after winning a friendly tournament.

There are of course more traditional venues...

But there also less...civilized places : great tracts of undeveloped land that were supposed to be used for housing but somehow successive mayors never get around to it. No real remand for it. That's where the fearless hikers go to commune with The Wild -- no paths, no signs, no fountains, just you and the underbrush, with maybe a chance to meet a racoon, or something equally untamed, like foxes, cats, squirrels and skunks. Birds, of course, and bird watchers. Who for some reason kinda dislike hikers tramping around (well, nobody's perfect). Rumor has it that there is even a llama in there. They're mostly spotted after curling tournaments.

I enjoy how you developed the Park Lane District to feature more rounded paths. It's a lot of the custom content that I need to get myself more involved in.

Those are ready-made rectangular parks, indeed (I don't batlot, alas) ; but with FrankU's, SFBT's and Paeng's parks (among others) one can have as many rounded paths as one wants and not be constrained to ortho, either !:-)

Some eye opener, team sport like football, rugby, tennis are ready available in some kind of configuration, bowls, curling, polo or equistian are quit apart. Bus service do require a lot more of customers, yet there still so much green space only real town to town centre will generate anything. Well done !

Not sure I get what you mean:-) but thanks. That city dates back to a time when I was less into (some sort of) realism -- what strikes me now is the glaring absence of parking spaces near the big sport facilities ! Even though almost everybody walks, jogs etc. in Kathy Vale, SOME people still use cars !!!:-)))
