Mercenary Park is an Attack/Defend Control Point map released during the Jungle Inferno Update. It is a biological research facility and weapons factory that was repurposed as "Yeti Park", but was changed hastily to just a fighting park after Saxton Hale killed the last Yeti in existence. This was the only map from the Update not created by the community.
Certain features of the map depict a bloody running battle with a large, escaped beast, the result of experimentation on large (and peaceful)[1] animals by the Yti-Hale corporation, enhancing them for strength, aggression,[2] and escape. ("That was the whole bloody point!")[3]

Update history
October 20, 2017 Patch #1 (Jungle Inferno Update)
- Added Mercenary Park to the game.
- Fixed enemy players being able to enter opposing spawn rooms.
- Fixed an area near cap B where engineers could build in an inaccessible area.
- Fixed spawn room doors sometimes becoming blocked.
Bugs
- It is possible for Pyros to shoot flames through BLU team's first spawn's right door.
- Sentry Guns can be placed on the Mercenary Park sign.[4]
- Sentry Guns can be placed on BLU team's third spawn.
Trivia
- The name Mercenary Park is a reference to the 1993 film Jurassic Park.
- Similarly, both plots for the parks revolve around containing dangerous animals for the public, which eventually escape.
- This is the first Team Fortress 2 map to feature animated crocodiles as a death hazard.
- There exist two unused rooms in Mercenary Park:
- To the left of the first Control Point and behind the fence, there is a mostly empty, dimly lit room with two floors and a dropdown between the two.
- Directly underneath the second Control Point is an partially lit area that has walls lined with cages and cylindrical containers.
