Petpet Park was a virtual pet website launched by Nickelodeon Kids & Family Virtual Worlds Group (formerly Neopets) in October 2008. The site is created by the Neopets team, the creators of Neopets and Monkey Quest. The game featured a new virtual world focused on Neopets' companions, Petpets. There were nine Petpets species in Petpet Park to choose from. Once chosen, users could help train them through games, activities and challenges and customise them and take them out to explore the park and meet friends.
On September 9, 2014, it was announced via Neopets that Petpet Park would cease all operations and be taken offline.
On September 4 2008 Neopets began a Petpet Park mini plot to promote their new virtual world. During this plot, users were asked to act as agents of the Petpet Protection League (PPL) in order to help Petpets crossing over from Petaria to Neopia arrive at Petpet Park safely. Missions were given by a Cloud Bruce (type of Neopet) named Weltrude. Weltrude acts as head of the Petpet Protection League Headquarters. Over the course of several weeks, users could solve various puzzles and lead the six Petpet species safely to Petpet Park. During the missions the users learned information about the Petpet species including temperament, favourite foods, and special skills in addition to the storyline of Petpet Park. On October 27, the Mission Headquarters had updated and Mother Bruce gave out rewards to those players who helped the Petpets successfully. Prizes included Neopoints, a site theme and a Petpet Park wearable.
Petpet Park revolves around Petpets, small creatures of Neopia who accompany Neopets. Once adopted, users can customise their Petpet with clothing and feed them. Users can play games to earn Park Points (the currency of Petpet Park) to buy clothing and food, like pizza. Users can also chat and interact with other users and play games.
Users found breaking the rules set in the Terms and Conditions may have their account suspended or permanently "frozen".
There are 9 species of Petpets to choose from in Petpet Park. Each one has its own traits, though they do not affect gameplay. As of January 1, 2011, there are 9 Petpets species, three of which are exclusive to the new morphing potions and possibly potential "limited edition" Petpets.
On September 9, 2014, Neopets announced that they will close Petpet Park on September 18, 2014 after being purchased by JumpStart.
