Clean The Playground

*"Dirtfinder,*

*I’ve got a frankly ridiculous situation on my hands. Y’see, some of the local children have been coming down with a curious and unsightly form of dermatitis, and a few fretful folk have been putting it down to the condition of the recreational facilities.*

*It’s all nonsense, of course, but if we could just humor them and give the whole thing a thorough hose down I would be most grateful."*

*-Park Warden*

**Clean The Playground** is a Location in Career Mode. The job takes place in the Muckingham Recreation Ground, and the Park Warden is the client who is responsible for maintenance of the grounds.

**Harper Shaw*** Did you hear that the Mayor's cat Ulysses is missing?! The whole town's on the lookout for him in time for the festival. We won't have Spring til he's put that hat on!

**Park Warden*** Super job on the playground, Dirtfinder! Looking at it now, I'll admit there may have been the odd fleck of dirt here and there. And aren't there just so many colors in this world! Too many, perhaps. Anyway, you've got those bleating worrywarts off my back, and for that I cannot thank you enough!

## Achievements

The **StegoScore** Achievement can be earned during Career Mode or Free Play. One possible strategy involves placing the Step Stool near the Stegoslide to help block off and position the ball, before spraying it up the slide; that is shown here. Since the ball needs to be pushed upwards, stronger Power Washers can be helpful.

## Trivia

* The access equipment available in the level are: Step Stool x1, Ladder x1.
* This level's gnome is located at the opposite corner to the Roundabout, behind the furthest tree. The tree is near the picnic tables, which are in the back right corner from the player's starting position.
* The Skatepark can be seen when standing near the Stegoslide's tail and looking towards the forest. The Skatepark has the original watermelon colours from its Version 0.3 release.
* The Playground is the second level ever added to PowerWash Simulator, as one of two jobs available in Version 0.2 of the Public Demo. In Version 0.2:
	+ The level had yellow swings and tic tac toe dice that were already clean and could be moved with water from the Power Washer. The dice had symbols, and the floor was fully covered in dirt.
	+ In the corner of the level, near the stegoslide, there was a sponsored Boho Gelato ice cream van that could be cleaned.
	+ If a player reached 30% completion of this level before the House, then they would unlock a sponsored Kärcher K2 washer as an upgrade to the regular nozzles.
	+ The completion total was $400, which could be reduced by window repair costs.
	+ Dave, your friend, introduced you to G., the client for the job. Messages from Dave and G. are shown in the Historical Gallery below.
* When the level was changed in Version 0.3, it had fewer tasks than the Van because many objects were grouped together. Other changes from 0.2 to 0.3:
	+ The Floor was not completely dirty, the swings were replaced by Monkey Bars, and the Tic Tac Toe Dice no longer had symbols.
	+ The sponsored ice cream van and washer were removed.
	+ The completion total became $600.
	+ Harper Shaw became your friend who recommended you to the Park Warden as the client.
* After the level's revamp in Version 0.9, objects like the Floor and Towers were split into many more tasks. The Version 0.9 revamp also changed some visual features, like completely covering the Floor in dirt, adding symbols to the Tic Tac Toe Dice, and raising the Tower Roofs.
