Town Square

The Town Square in Wiskerton is basically a park. The currency here is Pet Points and the town square introduces pet stores and drink/ice cream stalls.

The more pet points are spent the more the town square expands as well the shop that was shopped in. For example, if the spends enough pet points in the Pet Emporium, it will grow bigger and more objects will be available.

The Town Square has a chess table, drinking fountains, vending machines, a park fountain (which will expand), bathroom stalls and a statue (also will expand). It is unknown where it is located in Whiskerton as it doesn't show it in the neighbourhood view, but it is known to be near the lake as it sits on the edge of it and can be seen in the background. plus a vet to lovely neighbourhood
