Overview
Central Park is a public park located in the center of Dowon, surrounded by high-rise buildings and within easy reach of the city's commercial venues. It is divided into four sub-lots, each offering different activities and atmospheres. The park serves as a hub for art, recreation, social encounters, and seasonal festivals, complementing the more fitness and nature-oriented Harang River Park in the northeast.
Central Park has no set operating hours and is accessible around the clock. It is a common location for building relationships, chance encounters driven by the Smart Zoi system, and free dates with no spending required.

Central Park - Fountain
The Fountain area is described as offering "a fun shopping experience" with "eclectic flea market stalls." It is centered around a massive circular fountain and features a smaller flea market compared to Nuri Plaza. Four Flea Market tables sit behind a row of benches under a bridge near the fountain. Vendors set up at 9:00 AM. Busking performances by visiting Zois add to the atmosphere.
A lottery stand is located near the central fountain, offering daily draws.
Central Park - Garden Square
Garden Square is described as "a pocket of nature in the middle of the city" with "broad, verdant lawn" and "charming lighting at night" that "adds a touch of romance." The lot is designed for relaxation and light exercise: Zois can go for strolls, jog, or gain creative inspiration while drawing. At night, the garden's atmospheric lighting makes it a pleasant spot for evening visits.
A second lottery stand is positioned in the Garden Square area next to the vending machine near the gazebo.
Central Park - Sports Facility
The Sports Facility was added in Update v0.4.0 (October 2025) as the fourth sub-lot within Central Park. It provides dedicated athletic amenities for Zois looking to work on physical activities in a more structured environment than the open park areas. The lot expands Central Park's recreational offerings with spaces for basketball, yoga, and other sports activities mentioned in the main park's description.
