╚══| ⹂ WERESHIFTER / WERECREATURE PARKS : WORLD BUILDING IDEAS / MONSTER IMAGINE
—
In certain settings, wereshifters and werecreatures needs may not always be met.
There may not be an appropriate or comfortable setting to roam freely in their choosen form for the safety of themselves or others.
Many wereshifters and werecreatures feel a need to isolate themselves due to this; but many at the same time benefit best in groups with their kind.
But it can also difficult for them to find a group they click with– Let alone a species the same or similar to them in the first place.
So in order to better help, support and accommodate for the needs of these wereshifters and werecreatures, parks were built with their needs in mind.
They're large, outdoor national parks with a vast amount of space and terrain to provide enrichment for all the different species;
- Large stretches of a flat terrain and fields to run to their hearts content, or to just relax by!
- Winding hills and paths to hike, traverse and explore!
- Bodies of waters such as creeks, ponds and lakes to larp, fish, cool off or swim in on hotter days! Or drink from for wereshifters and werecreatures who enjoy drinking from these.
- Trees, large rocks and other structures to climb and relax on!
- Caves and other structures for those who enjoy a quieter, darker space during the daytime hours at the park.
The environment isn't the only thing kept in mind for wereshifters and werecreatures in mind however, community is also at the forefront.
- For newly turned wereshifters and werecreatures, or for those looking to be educated or support a loved one, educational seminars, support groups and other resources are hosted at the parks often to help spread awareness, resources, education and give community!
- ^^ Other mutal aid events are given as well through volunteer work typically; professionals such as healthcare workers and dentists stop by to help give medical check ups for free! Donations are given to wereshifters and werecreatures for clothing (as a lot of it can be ruined with shifting or just generally hard to afford)! And there's a food bank that takes donations for those who also struggle with food whether it's from the absurd amount they might require with certain cycles, not being able to afford food generally or having a specific/and or restrictive diet as a result to their species.
- Recreational activities are also held regularly at the parks, organized by organizations and the local community! They're not all directly related to associated with wereshifter and werecreature activities as one might imagine though. There's artsy ones, sports ones, board game ones– etc! On the account of the different anatomy and mindset of wereshifters, werecreatures and also disability, they're typically made to be as accessible as possible too so everyone can have fun, and specific events are also held for specific circumstances quite often so everyone can have at the very least fun opportunities that fit their needs and wants!
- As mentioned, organizations are involved with the parks, but local groups and clubs are also held at the park! Join a daily or nightly run club/group, join a volunteer club/group to keep the park clean and well maintained, MAKE YOUR OWN SPECIALIZED GROUP/CLUB!!!!!
- The parks are open typically for longer hours, if not 24/7 to the public to account for nocturnal wereshifters and werecreatures specifically; but also for those who just want to have some fun at night!
- Anyone can technically visit the park, it isn't a wereshifter/werecreature exclusive thing, but it's made for them first and foremost in mind! So if you wanna take your werecreature partner to the park? have fun! Your friends invited you to join an activity? Have fun! You wanna get more involved in the local community? Have fun! Just respect who the park is actually for first and foremost, don't demand it should be meant to YOUR needs as a non-wereshifter/werecreature or that it isn't diverse enough since it's catered for a marginalized group. (This isn't for just this hypothetical wereshifter werecreature park by the way. <3)
- There's A LOT of opportunities to meet people and make friends, basically.
Feel totally free to add anything else <3!!

× woahh! first long-winded worldbuilding idea on this post! this is a little idea that's been in my mind for a while. I'm trying to creature a story where these are actually a thing in it! It's super fun, I might mention the world from time to time when werewolves are relevant :)
