    'description' => ['nullable', 'string'],
    'status' => ['required', 'enum'],
    'opening_date' => ['nullable', 'date'],
    'closing_date' => ['nullable', 'date', 'after:opening_date'],
    'operating_season' => ['nullable', 'string', 'max:255'],
    'size_acres' => ['nullable', 'numeric', 'min:0', 'max:999999.99'],

    'operator_id' => ['nullable', 'exists:operators,id'],
]

// Area Rules
[
    'name' => ['required', 'string', 'min:2', 'max:255', 'unique:within_park'],
    'description' => ['nullable', 'string'],
    'opening_date' => ['nullable', 'date'],

]
