The Playground side-missions are four side-missions in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. The missions are triggered by accessing a PCJ-600 parked at random locations, which begins a time trial where the player must pass through a set number of checkpoints within an allotted time. The reward for each mission is $500. Two missions (Playground on the Park and Playground on the Dock) are exclusive to the PS2 version. They are required for 100% completion.
