Build a Park

Learn how to build a park in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. This guide covers using Nook Miles for outdoor decor, fences, flowers, and furniture to enhance your island.

Parks can be decorated however you like, and no two parks have to be the same! This is an example of the type of things you could include in a park.

Head over to the Nookstop and select the redeem Nook Miles option. In this list, you’ll find DIY recipes for outdoor decor and furniture items like lamps and public benches. These cost Nook Miles, so focus on buying DIY recipes for now.

• Outdoor Bath – A small decorative pond that looks good in flowery parks with an untamed appearance.
• Fountain – A statement piece that would look amazing in a park with lots of benches and flower beds.
• Brick Well and Simple Well – These would make a great centerpiece in a smaller park.

Also, check the fences available. You can buy different fence DIYs each day, from stone walls to barbed wire, to suit any park theme. Fencing works well to section off an area and make it feel enclosed. Buy around 3-5 lots of fencing.

Next, head to Nook’s Cranny and buy some flower seed bags. Pick whichever color and breed you like best and buy in bulk. You can also move grown flowers by using a shovel to pick them up and replant them.

Find a nice spot that suits your park vision. You can cut down trees with an iron axe or move them by eating fruit and digging them up.

Plant some flowers. If you use seed bags, they won’t be fully blooming for a few days. Once the general layout is finished, concentrate on making decorations. Benches and tables are great for adding a seating area, and villagers often sit on benches, encouraging interaction with the area.

For now, your parks will be simple, but as you unlock more DIYs, buy more furniture, and unlock terraforming and pathing, you’ll be able to create more elaborate parks.
