Fern Leaf Forest - taiga forest
Evergreens such as Douglas Firs and Giant Sequoia trees tower above this park, and below a thick forest floor spreads beneath undergrowth of berrying plants and ferns. As Fern Leaf Forest is bordered to the north by the Lanturn Glow River, this park is planted on the north edge of the city, along the shore of the Luna River. Paths through the thickets and undergrowth let critters enjoy the feeling of being shaded beneath the large trees. An artificial lazy river was dug through the park, showcasing the spawning cycle of the Lanturn Fish, who swim up the Lanturn Glow River at the end of every fall season to lay their eggs in the steaming waters of the Glow Cap Caverns. Using some newly invented plumbing, the city park runs water through rooms filled with hot air from the heat mushrooms, warming the water in the lazy stream to simulate the Glow Cap pools, one of the only natural hot springs on the Isles. These sheltered pools allow for unique glowing mushrooms and algae to grow. The Lanturn fish eat these as babies, causing them to glow like lanturns in the water, a beautiful sight every year as they depart for ocean waters, and return to spawn in the spring. In the park, bioluminescent algae from the caverns was planted on the ground of the "river" in the shape of fish, and critters floating down the river can see pictograph tiles depicting the Lanturn Glowfish spawn cycle.
Hazelmoss Woods - temperate forest
This park is a favorite during the fall season for the gorgeous color changes of the beautiful chestnut, oak, and maple trees shading the landscape. It also features a unique playground made up of wooden platforms and bridges along the sturdy oaks.
Greater Mycorzha Plains and Hills - temperate grasslands
A vast open prairie consisting of many wildflowers, this park is greatly enjoyed by rodent critters in particular who like to have picnics underneath the shade of the tall grasses standing overhead. Larger critters can find pathways that lead to large clearings with fire pits, where you can host small bonfires with your friends.
Morel Marsh - temperate wetlands
Some innovative beavers figured out how to place a swamp in the middle of the city by diverting just the right amount of the burrowed water tunnels to flood a small pocket with constant water. Heated by special mushrooms planted there by the city, the moisture resulted in many spas being opened nearby claiming it to be good for cleansing your skin and rejuvenation. Boardwalks were built so you could cross through the marshes with ease. Kids delight in the carnivorous plant section of the boardwalk, while many adults like to ride in the circular "boat ride" that runs around the park on an automatic chained pully, finding the Swamp Cypruss trees, fireflies, and overhead bridges of the boardwalks to be romantic.
Crescent Mountains - alpine tundra
Unable to fully capture the nearly always snowy tundra of the mountains and the special plants that grow there, this park was buried underground to protect it from the warm summers in Cove City. Mushrooms are used to create artificial grow lights and bring in cold air - making this a year round sledding spot and a favorite for many citizens, especially the kids! Water sprayed into chamber cooled by mushroom magic is blasted into the main areas as snow, turning the whole of the park into a giant, year-round snow globe. Critters enter the park through a chamber which lifts them up to the center at the top of a large hill, meant to represent the terrain of the Crescent Mountains. Copying the vine and pully system that carries baskets up the Luna Valley River for trade, wooden sleds are pulled to the top to sled down. Some creatures choose instead to use the zipline to speed down the hill and enjoy the view from above the trees. Occasionaly critters might actually notice the alpine gardens walk where you can hike down the hill (or up) on a winding pathway and see all the amazing plants that grow here such as Arctic Poppy, Saskatoon Berry, and Pasqueflower.
Luna Valley - open woodland
The largest of the seven parks, and perhaps the most similar to what might be thought of as a city park, the Luna Valley parkland is located in the heart of the city and filled with trails, playgrounds, and interspersed trees for shade along with low lying grasses and flowers to enjoy. A large path covered in blue rocks winds up the center of the park to represent the Luna Valley River, where you can find the Mysts Temple at one end. All along either side of the pathway are closely planted Red-bud Trees that bloom pink in early spring, a spectacle for many who enjoy walking the flower fallen path. A portion of the park is a dedicated teaching center where you can learn about cultivation and care for all of the biomes in one convenient location.
Oceans - marine aquatic
Once again the beaver engineers outdid themselves - salt water was diverted from the Coral Cap Cove into small tide pools for this park, shallow enough so that critters can pick up and look at the plants and small fish inside. WIth the help of some of the sea otters from the coast, the city brought in all kinds of sponges, starfish, and sea urchins that critters can pick up or pet in the little tidal pools. One of the pools shows the effects of the currents, starting with a large pool of water which moves back and forth in a minaturized wave pool constructed from water moving mushrooms. The waves eventually splash over a rock blockade to feed the tidepools below it.
