Role in the city

Parks, sports, and spiritual buildings raise happiness or land value around active districts.

Placement advice

Place them inside or beside developed residential blocks. Empty-edge placement looks tidy but wastes the effect radius.

When to build or upgrade

Build once utilities are stable and before expensive service upgrades, so the district turns into a stronger tax base.
