'''Pikmin Park''' ({{j|ひろば|hiroba|open space}}) is a feature in {{hp}}. It is a place where gathered [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] can play around and be safe, but it is also the source of some [[Sparklium]]. This Sparklium, be it in the form of [[treasure]]s or bundles of Sparklium Seeds, is hidden beneath clutter in the park, which can be cleaned up by the Pikmin in the park. Some of the rubble has a specific [[hazard]], meaning only certain types of Pikmin can clear it. The more Pikmin there are cleaning something, the faster it gets done, but progress is only made when an [[area]] is completed (whether it's the first time completing the area or not), even if that progress does not result in anything yet. The Park is also where the [[S.S. Dolphin II]] crash-lands and stays, meaning it is the rendezvous point for Olimar and the ship's pod after an [[area]] is completed. | '''Pikmin Park''' ({{j|ひろば|hiroba|open space}}) is a feature in {{hp}}.

The park is divided into sections, which become available with time. Tapping on a section on the bottom screen will show it on the top screen. Each section has its own clutter. The player does not order individual Pikmin, but orders an entire group instead, consisted of Pikmin of the same type. The player also does not directly order them to work on tasks, but instead, tells them where to go. If they enter an area with something to clean up, they will begin doing so, forming an orderly line, and, one by one, jumping into the clutter, taking part of it, and jumping back out. However, if there's nothing they can do, they just idle on that part of the park. Besides cleaning up clutter, they can also shoo away [[Coppeller]]s, when they appear on the [[#Central Pikmin Park|main section]] of the park. | The park is divided into sections, which become available with time.

The bottom-left corner has a button to return to the [[area selection menu]], and the button on the bottom-right allows the player to manage their [[Pikmin amiibo]]'s level. The rest of the bottom screen shows a top-down map of the park. The player can tap the different sections here to go there. Each Pikmin type has an icon, and its location represents where that type is in the park right now. Tapping the icon and then a section will make the Pikmin go there. If the Pikmin have to head to the section that is already on-camera, the player gets to see them come up one by one to start the task or to idle, but if not, when the player chooses that section, they'll already spot the Pikmin at work or relaxing. | ||
Each section also has icons on it that represent what types of clutter are still there, but since all icons would not fit, it only shows the most prominent ones. A section will either show the starting set of icons, or no icons at all – for instance, Eastern Pikmin Park has lake plants, electrical wires, and pebbles in pots, but only icons for lake plants and electrical wires. If Pikmin clean out all lake plants and electrical wires, but there are still pebbles left to clean, the icons on the bottom screen will still be the same ones. When everything is cleaned in the section, all icons in that section vanish. Cleaned sections will also be tinted in blue. | Each section also has icons on it that represent what types of clutter are still there, but since all icons would not fit, it only shows the most prominent ones.

* If the player idles on the Pikmin Park for 3 minutes, the ship will eventually interrupt and say "Captain Olimar, why don't we leave this place to the Pikmin and go and explore somewhere else? The Pikmin know the drill when it comes to looking for Sparklium by now. We can leave them to their work." This helps players understand that waiting will not bring any progress, but exploring areas will. The timer resets upon performing an action (but just touching the screen does not count), and once the ship speaks, it won't do it again until the Pikmin Park is exited. After the park is all cleaned up, the message becomes "Captain Olimar, why don't we explore somewhere else for now? We can return here after a few expeditions." instead. | * If the player idles on the Pikmin Park for 3 minutes, the ship will eventually interrupt and say "Captain Olimar, why don't we leave this place to the Pikmin and go and explore somewhere else?

If the player checks now, the Pikmin Park tutorial will play back again from scratch. However, the player is not forced to enter the Park, meaning they can skip the tutorial. | ||
