I have not been over to Creations Park in a long time, though I had it in
mind to get there soon to include the Winter Wonderland in my winter
sports articles. I saw that there was a reopening of the Art Gallery so I made my
way there to see it. Bryn Oh had some pieces for auction for the benefit of Team
Fox in the Gallery. Creations Park is here for the purpose of raising
money for Parkinson’s Disease Research through Team Fox. The gallery is lovely
and is filled with many Second Life artists’ pieces.
I had not gone through this
delightful sim in a long time so decided to hang out there for a while.
There are TP boards through out the ground area where you click and end up in a
cute taxi that carries you to the location you choose. I used it several times
just for the fun of sitting in the taxi. I did walk and fly because there is so
much to enjoy in the decor of the sim itself. The views are lovely with many
trees, flowers, shrubs everywhere. The quaint boutique area has many of
your favorite merchants shops (a portion of the sales go to Team Fox). I
succumbed to buying several outfits but also found some lovely gifts in several
shops.
I took the taxi over to the cafe and spent a few minutes sitting in the
comfortable setting there with a cup of coffee. Next I went over to the beach
and wandered around where there are places to relax and enjoy the sand and sun.
I spied the hot air balloon so took off in that to gaze down at the whole town
and surrounding venues. On one side there is a Castle and on the other a
Palace. So my next trip was to climb the steps of each and get a
different view of the region. There is a Stable where you can get a demo horse
and ride the lanes. I saw someone sitting in the lovely gardens for a long time,
meditating I assumed . It is a soothing place.
There is a TP center where
you will be able to reach the other wonderful areas . Down under the waters
there is a magnificent merfolk place where parties are held sometimes, so dive in to
see it. The Ethereal place is well named as it is ethereal. Paths lead to
different ‘temples’ where you can enjoy dancing, hanging out, waters and more
surrounded by magical color . Peace Place is an outdoor venue with tepees ,
totems, homesteads and buildings remeniscent or the Old West. Waterfalls and
ponds make it another place to relax and meditate . The Winter Wonderland
area is a favorite of mine and it is always there regardless of the season
. So if in July you want to ice skate you can.
I was able to visit on Sunday
when ‘The Drum’ was performing for the benefit of Team Fox. This amazing group
performs rhythms on various drums and setups in great costumes . There are
always activities and events going on in this wonderful region. I recommend you
get over there to visit if you have not been before. I wrote about this lovely
sim several years ago but am happy to revisit and discover anew. Bixyl
interviewed the owner , Barbie Alchemi several years ago too. I am so glad
to see the project remains in Second Life.
