Rayford Park

"Let's head through this park..."

"A wedding! I'll take this as a sign."

Rayford Park is an outdoor park near the riverbank in Rayford. The Survivors pass through the park on their way to the Rayford Historic Underground Tour in the chapter, The Riverbank in Left 4 Dead 2 DLC, The Passing.

History
Located near the bridge and riverbank, residents and tourists would enjoy a nice, scenic view of Rayford. The park is located in quiet residential area instead of the loud, vibrant nightlife Rayford is known for. Lots of plant life and nature can be seen in the area as several trees and tall-growing bushes cover the park and in the middle of the park, there is a gazebo and past it is an open grass area leading to another entrance/exit to the park.

Current Status
Before the Green Flu virus hit the small town, residents were setting up the park for a traditional wedding. Chairs, tents, lights, and a stage for a live band were all set up in place for the special occasion; however, once the town was hit by the infection, it spreads quickly as invitees to the wedding became infected (as they are seen still wearing formal attire). The groom may have either had second thoughts about the wedding or (most likely) he fled due to the out-of-control virus and did not want to become infected, leaving his fiancée in tears at the alter.

The Survivors pass through the park on their way to the safe room when they see the wedding. They notice that the bride had become a Witch and is blocking their path. The Survivors have to carefully plan and navigate their way through to the reception area and from there, they can exit the park and proceed to the safe room.
