What kind of a community lot does Granite Falls need

After sending my sims to Selvadorada lately, I am also interested in going back to Granite Falls. But I feel it kind of needs an update. I really like the public lots in Selvadorada and now I'm planning changing 1 or 2 vacation homes into community lots. With seasons an indoor activity sound like something useful. What do you think Granite Fall needs? I'm particularly interested to know why you think a particular community lot might fit here.

Right now I'm thinking about a Pub with a bowling alley, dartboard and foosball table, perhaps with a little indoor playground for the kids.

I include those options I am considering right now. If you have other suggestions, feel free to share them.

I honestly feel like a spa is a mandatory lot to place in granite falls. Seeing as it's a vacation destination for your Sims to take a break from regular life it just makes sense to have somewhere they can have a pamper day at some point on the trip. I've mostly turned granite falls into my spa getaway with one lot being a massage parlor, another being a yoga studio and another being a pool with hot tubs. I'm considering building a restaurant too but haven't gotten around to it yet.

I'd put a spa in there, with windows out to natural views.

I'd add a nice rustic steakhouse.

I've always found the idea of an outdoor nature spa to be an ideal place to be in Granite Falls; can't really see much of anything else going for it there or it might lose the "nature" aspect of the world.

So far a adding a spa seems to be the most popular option, with a bar being second. You all have good points. Thanks for your comments.

A spa is very useful to escape the everyday routine. I'll try to create one which feels natural enough to be in that world.
I think I'll add a bar or restaurant as well so my sims have 2 places to go indoors if the weather is bad.

I actually have both a spa and a bar in mine. I bulldozed the useless 50x50 forest for the spa and put the bar on one of the 40x30s. Works nicely for me.

I like the idea of putting a spa and a bar there. I never send more than one household at a time so there's no real need for lots of places to stay. All I need really is the campsite, the forest and a house big enough to fit a large family.

Hey, adding both a bar and spa would be great! I would probably bulldoze the 2 cheapest rental lots to fit them.

Funny, I was considering bulldozing the 2 more expensive lots. :)

I feel it would work really well with a spa and a restaurant. Especially the spa would benefit from having a playroom where you could just dump the kids when the parents want to take a day off :D Thinking about building some luxury resort of Granite Falls now that seasons propably will make it more interesting for my sims to visit (dont have that EP yet) :)
