Brickset posted the following description about this City Summer 2016 set:

60134 City Fun at the Park £34.99 - *I think*

I had spotted the title of this set in the Brickset database but couldn't see it on display when I got to the City section (I had gotten left behind the boys a bit as all the "girly" stuff was at the beginning of our tour!) so I asked and it was tucked away on a shelf.

The lady I spoke to said that LEGO get a lot of feedback from customers complaining that they have lots of vehicles and buildings in their Lego city but lack civilians and want to buy essentially a City minifigure pack. This set corresponds to this problem, though the lady said to me it's sometimes tricky to do a set like this because the set will come in a relatively small box for the price point. My feeling is that this will be a big seller though.

It includes an Alsatian dog and 14 minifigures - some adults, some kids. None were actually on display but the display card showed a grandma and grandpa in lovely knitted jumpers, kids with some new torso designs (one with the yellow sleepy head hair, one with the bob hair new in tan), a female handyman in paint splattered blue dungarees. In addition there is a brick built pushchair (stroller) to accommodate the brand new baby fig - not the baby in papoose seen with the tribal woman but a figure that's roughly the height of minifig legs and one stud wide, with little arms and head. It looked very cute on the illustration :-)

The other brilliant new piece is a wheelchair mould - a prototype piece was on display -, a seat area with rear handles, to which wheels are attached. It's long overdue, but I think it'll be worth the wait.
There are a number of little builds of things you'd expect to see in or around a park - picnic table, bench, bus stop, a little football goal (slatted windscreen piece with a tile across the top), a hot dog cart (again reusing that new bun part!)

All in all, my favourite set among the City theme but then I do love my minifigures!

Sounds similar to the Winter Village Market, with a lot of little minibuilds.  Honestly, I love the idea of some "civilian" sets (outside of the Creator line).  This is a winner to me.

Can't wait to finally have my Vern Troyer MOC.

all these new sets are in many backrooms 

there is no location for them on the floor so smart stockers have to print label and assign them

Awesome set, I want two too. I'll wait until June 1 to get a fountain for the park.

Woohoo! Going to LEGO Store today. Can't wait!

TRU has this in stock online. LEGO Shop at Home is already backordered a month. 

Is this set a US release only?

Is this a TRU exclusive? don't see it on Amazon or Target. I would be nice if target released it soon with the 20% off city 

Only one hot dog bun is included in this set. Gimme those buns, LEGO!

The infant is fantastic, and is the jewel of the set. Forty dollars seems steep, all and all. I'm also hoping these get discounted; I need more buns.

Minifigs are always priced much higher than regular elements. $40 is not a bad price for this set.

Release date is June 1st. Some stores have it out early.

You can compare it with this LEGO Education set: http://www.amazon.com/LEGO-Education-Community-Minifigures-4598355/dp/B0085Y3MTO. $55 for 22 minifigs. Sometimes goes on sale for $44 though. Roughly same price per minifig when not on sale ($2.50 vs $2.80).

It's a very PC set isn't it. All of the talk about "LEGO made a wheelchair finally" has filtered into the public consciousness. I think it's a great set especially for city builders and diversity of design is always welcome, but I think it may have gotten a pre-release boost like the Female scientists.

there's nothing politically correct about a child in a wheelchair minifigure coming from the father of 2 daughters 6 and 7 who will never walk, much less wipe their behind.

I apologize if I insulted you. As far as my PC comment goes, it refers to the fact that LEGO decided after 50 years of production, 30 years of minifigures and I have no idea how many sets to feature someone in a wheelchair and use that as a selling point to all the self congratulatory people who feel inclusive now that they have a kid in a wheelchair minifigure. It should be insulting that they never included one before or that it is being touted as revolutionary or interesting. It should be insulting that mainstream media swooped in on it and celebrated that it's here instead of decrying that it never existed before. It's PC because now high minded consumers can feel inclusive, you know, except all the other things that are excluded. I feel like it should have been introduced sort of apologetically "Sorry it took us so long." instead of "Now with added wheelchair!" Maybe I misspoke. But I feel like the prerelease media that touted how exciting it is to include a wheelchair is the same thing that took away from the message of the research scientists. Finally women are shown in the sciences instead of "Look we are showing how inclusive we are!"

i am surprised nobody talking about (not yet) why lego make only white minifigures (actually yellow) but not black or other races....strange, where all that activist looking???

Lego specifically made them yellow to remove race from the equation of minigifures.

Until they made the Basketball minifigures and they said "Hey, Shaquille O'Neal's not yellow."

LEGO is not the source of the pre-release hype. The hoopla was stirred up by a group called Toy Like Me, who campaigned for figs with disabilities.There was no self congratulating by LEGO. They did confirm that it was the first wheelchair when asked by NPR.
