Lake Park

"Designed by Richard Night to be the playground of his model city, the City government officially dedicated Lake Park to his memory. The grandstand that was built in 2014 to commemorate his death still bears a bronze plaque with his name on it; one of the few items of metal in the Park not yet pried off it's fixture and sold by an ambitious punker."

- Night City Sourcebook

Most of the only natural plant life in Night City grows in the Park. The Park itself is totally man-made, from the lake to the patches of trees, with specially bio-engineered foliage contributed as a gift by the Biotechnica Corporation.

By day the city owns the park; custodians keep it clean, and young mothers bring their children to play in a "natural" environment. But night is a different story. When the sun goes down, the "residents" emerge from the filth in which they have been hiding, and stalk the silent greenswards. The park is a very dangerous place at night, and there have been many disappearances.

It also home to the pack a homeless organization.

C2#1 The Lake:
The lake has a built-in filtration system,which the Park Department runs once a day. With the water cleaned daily the lake can be used for swimming and other water sports on hot days. There is however a 15% chance on any given day that the filtration system will be out of order. On these days the lake smells like raw sewage, and the park is almost deserted.

C2#2 Isadore Island:
No one has any idea how this island got its name—it's just called that. Once a week, when the sun goes down, the Gilligan's have their weekly meeting here. During the day one can usually find juvegangers making out in the woods.

C2#3 The Picnic Grounds:
This island is connected to the rest of the park by a small bridge, and is used as a picnic and cooking spot. There are gas-powered grills at locations all over the island. The gas is turned off at night.

C2#4 Night City Fire Station #2:
This block houses the second of two downtown Night City fire stations; Station Two is responsible for everything west of the Corporate Center. The NCFD is electronically hooked into the police emergency network. This, in addition to three AV-4's specifically designed as fire-fighting units give the fire department a response time of mere minutes in the case of smaller fires.

The snag in the system comes when the department needs to roll out the old-fashioned tanker trucks. The traffic is usually so bad that a building is often burnt to the ground before the bigger trucks can reach it. In response to this problem, the Fire Department is now working on a project to replace the older tanker trucks with a modified version of the AV-8 specifically designed for use as a fire-fighting vehicle.

The station itself includes sleeping and eating quarters for 20 men, who work a three day on and four day off rotating shift. On site are three AV's, four light trucks, three hook and ladders, and five tankers. In the case of a large fire in the downtown area, the lake can be used as a water supply.

C2#5 The Night City Transit Corporation:
This entire block is devoted to the offices and headquarters of the Transit Corporation. This civic organization is responsible for the smooth running of the entire Night City mass transit system, including all bus lines, NCART and the inter-continental Planetran station. From here the authorities can monitor the entire transit system, from the maglev trains in the tunnels to the busses in the streets. If anything goes wrong, the NCTC knows about it. The staff is well trained and does a good job. The NCTC also has total police power over its busses and subways, and is willing to use it.

C2#6 Combat Cabb™
Combat Cabb specializes in ground vehicle transport, with cabs armored like tanks and armed like AV-9s. Their mottoes, "We get you there, dead or alive", and "Leave the Combat to us," typlify the attitude of its freebooting drivers. Now world famous, thanks to DMS's long running comedy-drama, the Combat Cabb company began as a four hack operation in early 2011. Its colorful staff of cyberwar vets, recovered cyberpsychosis cases and expatriate Corporates, led by retired solo and mercenary Harrick McGivenay, soon became a popular local legend. In 2013, author G. Stafford drafted a slightly fictionalized account of CC's adventures during the Mob Wars and the Metal Wars after; the book was later produced as a movie by director Francesco Cippolina, then taken to video in 2017 by Diverse Media Systems. For the last three years, hundreds of millions have been glued each Thursday night to their vid-screens, faithfully following the adventures of Harrick (portrayed by screen hunk Patrick Lewis-Lyndell), his partner/lover Emmanualle Moore (toughest cabbie in the City), and the rest of Combat Cabb's lovable cast, making the series one of the highest-rated vid-shows in history.

True to its rough-and-ready background, the Combat Cabb offices are situated in two heavily-armored, almost bunker like buildings. The northernmost building contains the main garage and dispatch offices. The second building contains a well-guarded munitions bunker, repair facilities, and six "special-cabs" (read: heavily armed fan panzers purchased at government auction after the Central American Conflicts). These are used for only the most extreme fares, or to bail out "Com-Cabbies" trapped in the lower reaches of the Zone. Four small buildings grouped around a central courtyard serve as housing, lunchroom, break area and rec-area for CC's rather extended family.
