This is the third place of the neighborhood, where anyone might gather and where community may be found. Down near the south edge is a park, full of grass and meandering paths, benches of all sorts — the lovely wooden kind with outdoor cushions on them as well as the quaintly uncomfortable wrought-iron ones for whom such is attractive. Trees are scattered about, singly or in comfortable groves.%r%rPlopped in the center is a playground, complete with swings, jungle gym, rope bridge, and slide. While this may have begun as Motes's, it has become a part of the community space for all, and one might just as often find the swings filled with couples having heart-to-heart conversations and the jungle gym topped by lonely adults looking up to the stars and dreaming as one finds it all but covered by little ones zooming about. +The center of La Rêve is largely a common area.

Outdoors, there are some tennis courts for those — who? — that enjoy such games, as well as a large pool half-covered by an enormous gazebo. This could be just as often an olympic sized hot-tub as a cool pool for swimming or lounging.%r%rInside, there is a cafe, a ballroom for dances and parties, and a movie theater populated with lounge chairs, bean bags, and its own little bar. +The rec center is a sprawling complex, complete with indoor and outdoor space.

It is full of couches and cozy spots, a kitchen, a well-stocked set of fridges and a whole Coffee Zone™. Doors lead from there off to the various departments, from costumes to tech to props, green rooms and dressing rooms, and, of course, a large set of doors leading into the auditorium itself. + ## Lake +La Rêve's central area includes a lake, because why would it not? More of a placid pond, perhaps, lined with various shores: there is a sandy shore for those who might treat it as a beach, a muddy shore for those who like wandering along the edge of a lake in a pensive mood, a rocky shore well populated by flat stones ripe for the skipping, and one whole corner which seems dedicated to cattails and reeds, a meandering wooden walkway winding between them with a secluded platform right in the center with a few benches for quiet conversations.%r%rNotably absent? Mosquitoes. + ## House on the Hill A gravel drive leads up to The House on the Hill, a rather simple-looking ranch-style home done up in prairie style. It's shallowly sloped roof echoes the hill, making it a pleasant summit, while the tan of the brick façade echoes the tan of the grass of the prairie beyond. Around it, there is a scattering of plants looking almost deliberate: some of them harken back to the xeriscaping the inhabitants remember from phys-side, while others show well-tended greenery installed by those now gone.
