I have a long time project building this zoo. Here is the official forum link if you want to catch up. but I will post all new updates here as well going forward.

Love the layout - you're making me want to try out Planet Zoo! Excited to see future updates!

looking down the playground

Don't have much experience with Planet Zoo but this is looking awesome!

As a child, a good-looking playground was only bested by Christmas morning. But thinking purely from a safety standpoint, are those path markers really the best idea for an area dedicated to kids running around recklessly? 

Those markers were an in game thing when you used a natural path. In both PlanCo and PlaZoo. This screen capture was from a bit ago, but the last update to the game allowed us to finally remove those unsightly curbs. I have since updated my zoo to remove all these and will get some screen captures to show the difference it makes.

I can hear a sigh of relief coming from you and others who play PZ and PC, getting rid of those path markers. You no longer have to cover them up with flooring or rocks or greenery!

more playground

Another great shot! This section is really coming together nicely. Do you have an updated overall layout of the zoo so far?

And another playground shot with the train passing by

The kids are gonna be tripping over those path markers every few seconds. 😛

There is a new option in the game to remove these, just never got to it to make the updates....but now I did.

 

Now the kids can play freely! Haha 😅

Looks much nicer now, Wowman. Although, I kinda sorta would have enjoyed seeing the kids falling down everywhere.😛  (I know they don't actually trip over stuff in the game.)

Another playground shot with the path edges removed.

Looks great! The only piece of advice I can give here is to try and add some sort of path edge along the main sidewalk just so there isn't such a stark contrast between the sidewalk and the grass. This is coming out great so far!

Looks like a real, honest to goodness, park now; without all the kid-trippers.

Love the way this looks! It's great you can finally get rid of those markers.

I do agree with wolfpaw, you should put up a playground perimeter fence. 

the whole park from above with no path edges

Couple last updates from the playground. I added fencing along the path to section off the area.

 

Now that is coming together really nicely! That fence and ground foliage add so much, really great updates so far!

I'm wondering what that piece of playground equipment is (near the fence in the last image). Some sort of roller drum thingy. Does it have a real-world counterpart?

this is the closest thing I could find

 

I would've loved to use that kid's playground as a child!

I haven't gotten into Planet Zoo yet, but really interested to eventually try it.

Jumping back into the Fragile Kingdome building. I had a faux habitat for a caracal with nothing in it, but now that we have this animal in game, it has finally been added.
