AzMean Posted February 17, 2008 (edited) B-OV-12C Hi All, After I have built my previous MOC, the CITY Hospital, the Ugly baseplate that the original hospital once stands on is not in use and seriously taking too much storing space. So, After 2 months of planning, ordering parts, building from scratch and waiting for deliveries, I am proud to announce the opening of the Lego CITY Park! *sing* Its an open-park concept, so there are no gates or fences around this tiny green area amongst the high rise buildings and urban structures (imagine!). the park with minifigs The park is mainly built on a Hard Rock ground, therefore the area around the park are surrounded with exposed gray rocks and natural wall. Other than the main Park itself, there is an ice-cream seller at the main entrance of the park, selling cool, creamy ice-cream to kids and adults alike, wanting to cool down after a hot day at the park. There is also 2 parking lots for those who are that lazy to walk to the park. There is a broadwalk in this park. I'm actually proud of this part and I like it the best. This broadwalk connects the heart of the park to a nature corner of the park. As you can see, there is a small pond underneath the broadwalk. *wub* The main path is made up of cement tiles, so that the minifigs can walk comfortably around this Park and not to worry about soil and mud. There is a Gazebo in the heart of the park. Simple but sturdy structure. It adds character to this park. Reading a book here, amidst all the lush greenery and fresh air relieves any after-work stress and a great place to just relax. :-$ This park is taken care by this mini-fig here, sweeping the back entrance of the park. The lone huge tree stands here to give shelter for any park goers and is being preserved by the authorities. ============================================== I hope you all have enjoyed my MOC. Comments and constructive criticism welcome! X-D Edited October 4, 2011 by Phred Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

highlandcattle Posted February 17, 2008 Awesome! Best use of that baseplate EVER! Makes me want to buy that hospital :) I just love the compactness of it all. I would use a brown arch instead of a white one for the bordwalk. I even go as far as saying that this is one of the best parks I have ever seen! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darth_Legois Posted February 17, 2008 Wow good job *y* *wub* ,almost as good as the train station me and my friend built on the same baseplate ......... :-P ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WarnIcarus Posted February 18, 2008 You sure did fit a lot on a single baseplate. I like the boardwalk most, but the whole thing seems cramped, maybe you should expand it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inertia Posted February 18, 2008 Wow, nice park, I like the fact that you included a pond and integrated the bin from the impulse set. *y* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AzMean Posted February 18, 2008 That is very high quality work. I like everything about this moc. The boardwalk is very well designed. Thanks a million zouave. It wasnt easy designing that broadwalk coz I had difficulties deciding how the handrails are to be built. I wanted someting "wooden" but not too old-looking.

alex54 Posted February 18, 2008 Wow! What a great idea for the use of this baseplate! So, the stickers from the hospital set are very well integreted here! Your park is well done, very chaming. I like the two pics "without" and "with" minifigs. We can really see the difference between a closed parck and an alive one! The only thing I Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
