Avatar Korra Park

Republic City park is a large tract of land located in Republic City's center peninsula. A small unit of park officials monitors the park and enforces its bylaws, one being that fishing on park grounds is strictly prohibited.

Due to the poverty of a large number of the capital's citizens, the city park has become a place popular with vagabonds, such as the hobo Korra encountered upon her arrival.

Public gatherings such as anti-bending protests are often orchestrated within the park's interior, as the grounds are frequented by numerous citizens.

History
Avatar Korra and her polar bear dog, Naga, stopped by Republic City Park after arriving in the capital. As the young Avatar had no yuans to exchange for food, she settled for fishing in the park's pond. While Korra was using her firebending to cook some fish she had caught, a vagabond emerged from his bush and asked if he could have one of the three "tasty-smelling fishies" Korra had caught. She granted his request and, trying to make conversation during their awkward meal, learned that the man was proud to be living in the bush he emerged from and that there were many more vagabonds like him in the city. This confused Korra, as she thought that everyone in the capital was "living it up", a statement met with laughter by the hobo. After telling her that she had a lot to learn, he formally welcomed her to Republic City.

Soon after, a park official appeared and informed Korra that fishing in the park was prohibited. He attempted to pursue Korra, who easily escaped on Naga.



Korra soon encountered a protester promoting the Equalist movement. This man was attempting to persuade passersby in the park to join Amon in his cause when Korra challenged his bold remarks about bending being "tyrannical". Quickly singling her out to be a bender herself, the protester used Korra's hotheaded attitude to his advantage and gained the support of the crowd when he alleged that benders like her "only use their power to oppress [non-benders]". Unable to come up with a better response to refute these accusations, Korra claimed that he was "oppressing [himself]" before she rode away on Naga.

Layout and description
It is abundant in greenery, landscaped with small hills, deciduous trees, and impeccably kept grass. A pond stretches along the park's entirety, with fine stone arch bridges built over the surface to allow easy passage.

Trivia

 * Republic City Park's layout faintly resembles that of Central Park in New York. Both grounds are almost entirely landscaped and located within a metropolitan city center.
