It might be a good idea to divide it into two or even three zones - it has the room (One zone along the street in front of Fallon, one in front of Mummy, one in front of Finnegan's). Central Park just lacks versatility and can become a real bottleneck. I miss the Kidzone areas, though they really can't come back.
Yeah - IDK why they changed the trend. NY SZs usually occupied the space well until recently.
