General

  • A large park, situated in the center of the city.
  • Being so large, there are a great many points of interest within.
  • "Though records are incomplete, Polygon Park is thought to date back to the founding of Perplex City. The overall layout has not changed significantly, with the lakes and amphitheatre remaining relatively untouched. Plans are being drawn up to excavate portions of the park for archeological purposes."
  • "With dozens of miles of trails and paths, Polygon Park is the running hub of Perplex City. The Polygon Park Runner's Club has several thousand members and meets three times a day at the northeast corner."

The park is defined by Milamont Parade to the north, Fivebridges Lane to the west, Mazy River to the south, and to the east; This excludes a section particularly defined by Polygon Walk and Old Polygon Walk (and by extension, the Academy).


Features

    • The Perplex City Academy is situated at the intersection of the Park corner and the Mazy River, just outside the park.
    • Cognivia's main R
