The central park for the city was much like any park in a major city with one exception: it actually seemed as if it were cared for. Quite contrary to many such parks located in bustling metropolises, this was actually a safe locale in which to take a casual stroll or jog in at night and not worry about the typical purse snatcher or sexual predator. In addition, advanced botanical techniques researched within the city were used to keep the local flora in impeccable condition. Light dirt paths crisscrossed the sizeable area and allowed patrons to relax in the cool shade of a tree or to sit on a comfortable bench and delight in an ice cream purchased from a nearby cart.
