Sometimes the best outings arenāt the obvious ones.
This guide highlights a few unexpected places around Woodland where the ENTIRE family has a good time
Woodland Community Library
Thereās way more than just books.
š¢We all know the Weekender is a huge fan of the library. But the way Woodlandās shows up for its community is unmatched. They hostĀ classes, story-time, movie nights, speakers or kids shows.
They literally always have something going on.
The kids play area is a perfect spot let the kids wiggle while parents can sit on the comfy library seating and get a moment to chill. And since youāll have time ā check out their āLibrary of Thingsā.. You can check out things like a telescope and get your night activity nailed down with just a library card.
The Library is litš„
Parks & Outdoors
Trails, playgrounds, river views, boat launches.. to say that Woodland is “outdoorsy” is a hilarious understatement.
And this one pictured š right next to the library š¢

Woodland Corner Store
Go Upstairs. Youāll Thank Me Later.
Woodland Corner Store has good stuff downstairs. Drool-worthy pizza, sandwiches, ice cream, local snacks, and even Kalama Sourdough bread š¤¤
Upstairs there’s room to sit, games for the kids, and a complete vibe for get togethers or even parties! There’s outdoor seating, and a cozy small-town vibe that makes it an easy family stop.
They also show up big for Woodland, supporting local events, sponsors, makers, and the community around them. Their staff is wonderful, the atmosphere is easy, and Woodland loves them!
Good food, good people, great place.
Truly a Local Favorite š
The Laurel Market
Where shopping and playtime meet.
Laurel Market just upgraded to a new location ā more stock for parents to browse the most adorable assortment of home goods you can imagine; clothes, books, kitchen stuff, delicious local crafts and treats, kitchenware.. itās a shop you can get lost in!
Best Part ā Kids have a spot too.
Laurel Market made a kids play and hang area in the store. They can do their thing while you do yours.
Alcove Coffee sits inside so you can you can get a quick pick-me-up or finally meet up with that mom friend youāve been rescheduling with. Because letās face it… parents need a playdate too.

SPOTLIGHT
On Family Focus
Some of the strongest parts of Woodland are the people building community around kids and families. Growing Montessori and Woodland PTSA do that in very different ways. One through thoughtful, nature-based early learning. The other through school support, events, advocacy, and family connection.
Both are creating spaces where local kids can feel supported, families can feel connected, and community shows up in ways that actually matter.
We like what theyāre doing. We think you should know about them, too.
Growing Montessori Outdoor Schoool
Nature-based learning, local families, and a whole lot of heart. Nestled in the hills of Woodland gives students ages 3-6 a place to learn, explore, and grow outside the traditional classroom
Woodland
PTSA
Woodland PTSA brings families, schools, and community together through events, fundraising, advocacy, and the steady behind-the-scenes support local students rely on.
SPOOKY SEASON
Halloween
Woodland doesnāt just do Halloween.. we get into it š
FALL FESTIVITES š»
Woodland has pumpkin patches, corn mazes, trick or treat in the streets, apple pressing, and fills the calendar with all things fall
VERY WOODLAND

Finding Local isn’t going to be hard anymore
Woodland has more businesses than most of us realize. The problem is theyāre scattered across Google, Facebook, word of mouth, and that one recommendation somebody gave you six months ago that you definitely forgot.
So we started putting them in one place.
A Directory That Actually Means Woodland
The new Woodland Weekender Directory is built to make finding businesses right here easier ā places to eat, people to hire, shops to wander into, family stuff, local farms, community organizations, and the businesses you didnāt know were three minutes away.
Because ānear meā should mean actually near me.

SEASONS ARE CHANGING
THEREāS USUALLY SOMETHING HAPPENING
Woodland Likes an Excuse to Get Together
Give us a sunny evening, a holiday, a good cause, or apparently just an available parking lot, and somebody around here will turn it into an event. Planters Days owns the beginning of summer. Movies fill the park when the evenings get long. Fall brings pumpkins, markets and Halloween everything. Then come the bazaars, lights and small-town Christmas traditions before we start all over again. In between? Markets, fundraisers, workshops, live music, school events and plenty of reasons to leave the house.
The Calendar Changes. The Traditions Stick Around.
