What a delightful time I had visiting the region, Creations Park. Originally I
went over to view the Dreamscapes exhibit featuring some exquisite art by five SL artists in the elegant Gallery . The pieces were all lovely and
represent the artist’s images of what is Dreamscape to them. Be sure to
view them during August and September. There will be a new theme for the
following months. When I said I was going to Creations, someone said to me that
the region was lovely and to explore it. I set out from the Gallery on foot and
picked up a notecard telling me about the purpose of the sim and landmarks not
to miss.
The mission of the sim in SL is to support the Team Fox founded by
actor Michael J. Fox, whose mission is raising funds for research into Parkinson
disease. The founder and owner of the sim, Barbie Alchemi, relates her
feelings, “After 2 years in Second Life, my brother and I felt a desire to give
meaning and purpose to the hours we spent in-world. Our Dad died with
Parkinson's and our Mother has it now. To quote her "I may have Parkinson's, but
it does not have me." At 85 years young, she has entered Second Life and is
thrilled to see herself running and dancing again. This sim was created
for everyone to enjoy. Those of us in Second Life can have fun while knowing we
are making a difference in the real world. Those who are affected by Parkinson's
can learn about SL, a world where they can be free of physical limitations.“
I picked up a demo horse and took a ride along the paths and over the brick
bridges that connect the areas. There is a marvelous beach with a water slide,
relaxing beach chairs, cozy cabanas and cuddles. Under the waters you
will find a gorgeous underworld mermaid paradise. I happened upon a party of
mermaids dancing while I was there. Around the dance area the underwater decor
is lovely, including an Atlantis setting .
Back on dry land, I wandered
along to the village of shops where I ended up purchasing some fall outfits .
All or half of the money you pay for the items goes to Team Fox. It is nice to
buy something and know that part of the money goes to a good cause. There are
two lovely shopping areas there with some well known fashionistas
involved. While I was there a summer hunt was going on so I picked up some nice
gifts.
I visited the towering Castle filled with interesting secret rooms.One
teleport took me to a snowy winter wonderland with midsummer ice skating,
skiing, balloon ride and more available and it was a frosty treat! Some
dazzling Christmas trees were displayed in gingerbread houses around
the skating area. There are activities going on during the week at various
places around the sim so you are invited to join the group to be informed, or
join the subscribo for information. 
A teleport
board is placed all around the areas giving the option of getting to
the numerous venues easily . There are more places to visit than I talked about
and you will find them there for your pleasure to explore. I will definitely be
back for more! This entrance will put you near the tp board , or near a
demo horse to rezz to start your travels. http://maps.secondlife.com/
