Franklin (TV Series) - Woodland

Woodland

Franklin and his friends live in a small village known as Woodland. The village is small enough that most residents know one another and meet on a regular basis. There is a small shopping district, some roads (with very little traffic), and at least one community schoolhouse.

  • Turtle Household - Franklin, his parents and Harriet's home.
  • Shopping District - Woodland is known to have a robust shopping district with an ice-cream shop, Mr. Mole's hardware store, a pharmacy, a grocery market, a coffee shop, a bookstore, and more. Franklin and his friends sometimes travel here with their parents, with each other, or even by themselves.
  • Pond - Franklin and his friends often hang out by the pond, which is attached to a stream. They sometimes go swimming, sit by the pond, or participate in various activities.
  • Woods - Woodland is surrounded on at least one end by the woods. A character named Gopher who appeared in the movie Franklin and the Green Knight is known to live here. In Franklin and the Green Knight, Franklin and Snail had an adventure here. They journeyed deep into the woods where they met several characters and found magic cherry blossoms.
  • Oakwood Ravine - Located within the woods and connected distantly to the playground. The only area in Woodland that is shown to contain poison ivy.
  • Nature Trail - The Nature Trail is a trail that has a picnic ground within it, as well as the Monarch Meadow and Blueberry Hill Lookout. Franklin and Bear went on a hiking trip in the Trail once. They expected to find monarch butterflies in the Meadow, but found caterpillars instead. There is a pond here as well. Franklin and Bear try to skip stones in it, but the stones sink.
  • Village Park - Kids go to skateboard here.
  • Playground - For the younger kids such as Harriet and Beatrice. It has a slide, swings and monkey bars. Harriet, Kit, and Beatrice all enjoy playing here.
  • Tamarack Play Park - An amusement park area never seen on the programme, but referenced. When Franklin is unable to travel there with all his friends, he creates "Turtle Play Park."
  • Faraway Farm - Franklin and his family pay a visit here in the TV special Franklin's Magic Christmas.
  • Turtle Lake - An area featured only in the TV special Franklin and the Turtle Lake Treasure. Franklin's Granny lived in this area, but lost her home and parents in a fire.
  • Woodland Town Hall - The Woodland Town Hall is used to hold the production of Sleeping Beauty performed by Franklin and his class in "Franklin's Starring Role."
  • Thrill Hill - A steep hill that the big kids in town like to skateboard down. Franklin ends up skateboarding down it accidentally and then is dared to do it again. At first he agrees, but ends up not taking the dare.
  • Blueberry Hill - A hill within a nature park that has a spectacular view, when it's not too cloudy. The name may be a reference the 1940 song.
  • Great Bear Farm - This is the farm where Bear and his family will pay a visit here and where Bear's maternal grandfather will be seen.

Famous quotes containing the word woodland:

    I already, and for weeks afterward, felt my nature the coarser for this part of my woodland experience, and was reminded that our life should be lived as tenderly and daintily as one would pluck a flower.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
