Polygon Paradise Park

Author: COMAP


Background

A group of four friends want to go to Polygon Paradise Park next summer. Polygon Paradise Park is a small amusement park open from 9am to 9pm. The park has ten rides of different types and thrill levels. The Trapezoid Show, a location with several different performances throughout the day, offers a circus acrobatics show, a magic show, and evening fireworks. The Games building has both arcade and carnival games. Food options include the Triangle Restaurant, the hot dog stand, and the ice cream cart. The hot dog stand and the ice cream cart are “take away” options, while the Triangle Restaurant requires 30-60 minutes to sit at a table and enjoy a meal. The restrooms (WC) are centrally located in the park for easy access. Visitors can purchase souvenirs in the gift shop located near the park entrance.
