Any suggestions for ice rink and sf mall?

drat. I knew i forgot something! I edited the post and added it in :-)

Thanks for pointing it out. I was trying to watch Twilight while i was posting it :mrgreen:

Looks good, your SF Mall is how I have mine, maybe for the ice rink you could add some water? Mine is by a big river and it just feel like it fits.

I have the mall and the skating rink in the same picture so I didnt know which thread to post it in so I just popped up a new one so I could get some feedback on what I could do if anything to improve it.

I cant really say that I like the nutcrackers in front of the mall but I dont know what else to put there.
Maybe some lamp posts? Its not shown in the picture but I did add some road in the white strip below
the parking lots.

What do yall think?

I would push parking lots closer to ice ring and use this area for something else,
I can not take a screenshot from my town, But if you visit my town- in bottom right corner you've got ice ring, it's really simple but really nice design (I like it), may give you some inspiration.

Thanks! I wasnt thinking outside the box. I could make the entire pavement /parking one area and line it with candy canes and put the ice rink in the middle..it will clear up some space as well on the right hand side.

I'll work on it this morning and then post the results around noon :-)

Looks good. I might make everything pavement or line the harsh transition between snow and the pavement / parking spaces with hedges or trees.

Ok..so its not exactly noon :-)

Here is phase 2 of the mall development.

Do I need that many parking spaces? :-)

I'll have the tree on the right removed as soon when I develop the adjacent property
I could put some trees on the side but it depends on what goes next to it - if its going
to be pavement or snow. Snow would use trees for the transition between the two but
if its pavement it wouldnt. It all depends on what building comes next :-)
