What lot venue should I use for roller/ice rinks?

Question

I really wanna build some community lots with roller rinks and ice rinks (and, unrelatedly, some bowling alleys!) but I'm not sure what lot venue I should set them to? I saw a few people saying in different places to either use lounges or bars, are they better than setting a lot to generic?

For my ice rink, I wanted to set it as a restaurant, but I'm afraid that Sims won't actually use the rink and will instead focus on eating. I'd love some thoughts on these things, before I build something no Sims will show up to :neutral:

if you set it to generic people won't go to your skating rink unless you bring them there. like, townies won't even generate on the lot to fill it up.

I would suggest either a park (if outdoors), the bar, or a lounge.

if you want eating to be a main focus of the venue (aside from the rink, obviously), I would not recommend setting it as a restaurant since the functions of the restaurant will take precedence over that of the skating rink. a bar or lounge would do just fine.

I think parks work really well

I think park, but I also added one to a Gym lot, because the place seems quite busy when I visit.

Thanks for your answers guys! I didn't realize townies wouldn't generate on generic lots (I never use them lol) so I think I'll just do a park and stick some food stalls in there or something and make a separate restaurant nearby.

Their just not attacted to the skating rink. Same with swings.
