Lot - Pensioners Park

It's not called Pensioners Park because it is only for retired people, everybody in St. Mary Mead likes to come to this little park. But it is maintained by the Pensioners Society, and they make sure everything is tidy and neat. That said, it is the pensioners' favorite park, mostly because it is quiet and calm. A couple of times there have been suggestions to add a swing, but the proposals was rejected. "Children does not have to be everywhere!", Mrs Babcock states.

Lot - Bus Stop Park

St. Mary Mead is a small village, and doesn't have much public transportation, but twice a day there is a bus for Much Benham. Since you can't know exactly when the bus comes, it's good that there is a waiting area, especially for the impatient kids. The Bus Stop Park is also a popular place to have a family pick nick on Sundays, it's a good place to meet with the neighbours. The little nook under the old oak trea is also a favored place for young (or not so young) couples.

Lot - Small Hill Park

Dog and cat owners have been complaining a while about not having a place to take their pet for a walk nearby. "You can not expect little Fido to walk the 4 kilometers to the City Park to do his necessities!", Mrs. Smith explained to the mayor. For just a few simoleons a toilet and couple of benches have been provided, and the pet owners of St. Mary Mead are very happy about it. So are their neighbours, who were fed up with cats and dogs visiting their gardens at all times.

Lot - Christmas Market

One of the most effective ways of getting into the Christmas spirit is to visit the local Christmas market. The Sims are no different. At their local market the kids can play with their friends, while mom and dad does some gift shopping (well, not really, but at least they can admire the stuff on display). Then of course they can have some mulled wine at the little bar, even though the barman might call it something else. You will find some good quality Christmas trees there (not for purchase) but the greatest of them all, obviously, is in the middle of the square.
