Could you build this?

No This is a full 3D/isometric simulation game featuring pathfinding, terrain painting, AI animal behavior, and custom graphics assets.

What it would actually take: A park simulation requires a mature game engine like Unity, Unreal, or Godot. It involves engineering complex simulation systems such as 2D/3D grid-based terrain deformation, navmesh pathfinding for visitors and animals, state-machine AI for 20+ species, and specialized 3D art/animation pipelines that cannot be generated through prompting alone.
