The Slums
The Slums of Midgar City are also known as "The Playground".The Slums are a struggling area that survives only because it is visited only a daily basis by a range of people all ages, varying from small children to grown adults. This "playground" is for brave adventurers willing to take risks sliding down the slide of doom, swinging on the swings of fate, running through the dome of fire. Also young children will be able to test their intellect inside the mini sand box at base of the slide. Here they can use their artistic abilities to create pieces of art. The playground not only offers activities for children, it offers a place for older teens and adults to enjoy themselves. Older teens can entertain themselves by visiting the "Shack" located in the North sector of the playground away from the younger children. Here teens can experience away time from younger siblings and get away from their parents. But the shack is monitored, to make sure activities do not get out of hand in the "Shack" and that hormonal raises are kept to a minimum. This allows teens some space but not too much space to get in trouble. Parents can breathe a deep smell of Slums air as they relax on the playground benches. This gives parents a time to relax while still being able to watch overthe safety of their child/children. This is the ultimate playground of playgrounds. If the children of the park start misbehaving and there is no supervision it has an automatic shutdown system that will kill all the fun they once were having. But this is only gin extreme cases because the playground would have to be rebuilt after this shut down sequence. If older teens aren't interested in the "Shack" they can visit the pillar which is located just South of the playground. At the pillar if you exceed the required height you can experience Hanging by a thread. Its basically a giant rope teens can use to swing off the tower across to another platform. For safety reasons a net will be placed under the swingers. Also available for parents just east of the playground is Heaven's Bar. This is a place parents can get food/drinks for themselves and the family. This playground was designed to include all ages of people and not discriminate on any age group, even the grandparents can come with their grandchildren and have a great time at this playground. This playground provides a sense of free play that allows the visitors to open their minds and take in the world that is Final Fantasy 7. |
