Park

Park is a type of community lot in The Sims and The Sims 2, and a lot assignment in The Sims 3 and The Sims 4. It is also a lot in The Sims FreePlay.
==The Sims and The Sims 2==
The Sims and The Sims 2 did not allow community lots to be specifically designated as parks, but a community lot could be designed as a park. In The Sims, Downtown and Old Town each had a park. In The Sims 2, parks are a common feature of neighborhoods and sub-neighborhoods, though not all will have a park.
In the console version of The Sims 2: Pets, the Town Square is a park.
==The Sims 3==
;Attracts
: Sims with either the loves the outdoors, angler or green thumb traits, or are in the athletic career.
;Deters
: Sims with the hates the outdoors trait.
Park lots attract Sims in a similar way to gym and pool lots, and are one of the few lot assignments that allow Sims to bring toddlers along. Lots can be set as small or large, which dictates how many Sims will gather there. If Pets is installed, strays may visit parks, and wild horses may visit large parks. Parks often feature grills and picnic tables, and typically push Sims to socialize.
As a lot assignment, parks provide the Beautiful Park moodlet:
Image	Moodlet Name 	Mood Effect	Time Period	From 	Game Dialog/Description 	Notes 	Expansion
 	Beautiful Park	+15 	- 	Park Lot	The money City Hall put into this park was well spent! Swing sets, slides and jungle gyms, oh my!	Does not appear if Sim has Hates the Outdoors trait.	
There are two types of lot assignments for park lots: Big Park and Small Park. These influence the boost of the moodlet, and also the number of Sims that will visit the lot. Magician NPCs appear at Big Park lots. Some of the lots listed on this page are actually No Visitors Allowed and Visitors Allowed lots. They generate a park map tag, but do not give the moodlets associated with true parks. The only true park lots added in The Sims 3: World Adventures are the Emperor's Plaza and the Hot Springs.
Pets added two types of lot assignments that are similar to parks: cat jungle, and dog park. These lots are like normal parks, except they attract Sims who has Pet specific traits.
Seasons added festival grounds, which usually replace the biggest park in worlds released by EA.
University Life added group science park lots, which has a group science project Sims can work on.
Into the Future added business park lot assignment, which houses legacy statues.
With Showtime, it is possible to add a stage to a park, which will allow that park to host some types of gigs. This can also be done in graveyards, fishing spots, beaches, and festival grounds.
There was a deprecated lot assignment called "Recreational Park", which did not make it to any released games or packs, but which can be reinstated with NRaas Traveler.

== The Sims 4 ==
In The Sims 4, there are two types of parks: parks and national parks. National parks were originally introduced in The Sims 4: Outdoor Retreat, but as of Patch 21 the lot assignment is also available in the base game. Central parks were introduced in The Sims 4: City Living, however, the lot type is not available anywhere else to use, and is only found in Myshuno Meadows.
Parks usually include chess tables, children playsets and bathrooms. National parks only require a grill, a picnic table and a trash can. They are a great location for Sims with the loves outdoors trait.
With The Sims 4: Lovestruck expansion pack, Sims can Make Out in the Great Outdoors in Parks as a romantic interaction.
