Stardew Valleyplayer oldeluke shared their thoughts on the lack of interactivity with the playground equipment, including the swings, slide, mini rock wall, and wobble seat, that lies to the north of Harvey’s Clinic and Pierre’s Shop in Pelican Town. While some of theNPCs inStardew Valleywill interact with the playground, the player’s character can only sit on the swings and wobble seat, though they are not able to actually swing to-and-fro or wobble back-and-forth. As such, oldeluke lamented the missed opportunity forStardew Valleycreator Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone to implement more interactive elements, such as by letting the player character climb and move around on the playground. ConcernedApe has previously taken community feedback into consideration when releasing game patches, and oldeluke is hopeful that the playground will get an update in the future.

Stardew Valley Could Improve the Pelican Town Playground

FellowStardew Valleycommunity members joined in the conversation and voiced similar desires for the playground to become more interactive, with many hoping to climb the mini rock wall and ride down the slide in their spare time. Some joked that it was a bit too realistic that the busy farmer would only have a brief moment to sit down rather than spend a whole afternoon playing around. Others insisted that this was all the more reason for ConcernedApe to release a new game patch, allowing the farmers to decide if they want to toil away in the fields or enjoy a whimsical jaunt on the playground. Whether focusing on raisingcrops inStardew Valleyor exploring the playful elements of the game, the community continues to find plenty to love about the indie farming sim.
