Directly south of the manor is Munny Sokol Park, the site of a former administrative building that was torn down and converted into a green space. The old TNT cannons from Fort Dicks were relocated here, and are currently on display, but non-functioning.

==== Southland Manor Complex ====
==== Southland Manor Complex ====
The complexes official entrance is just south of Bickham Square and the old hotel in an are known as The Old Park, which was formerly a much larger park that included to old hobbit hole where the original trio began. The park was later used as the site for various portals, such as the Twilight Forest and Nether. The southern end of The Old Park leads in 3 directions:
1. East down a set of stairs to another courtyard with the Southland Portal Terminus, The Old Tram Station, and a tunnel leading under the old park across to the DoD complex
2. West up an elevated corridor to the Bob L. McKinley Agriculture Complex
3. South into Southland Courtyard


The Lower Courtyard is just off the Old Park, and leads directly into the Southland Portal Terminus, which is a two floor lobby for portals leading to various portions of Southland, such as Alamkhet, the resort, and the university, as well as free build areas. The Old Tram Station once had lines running in all 4 cardinal directions to various parts of the FriendCraft map, and before that on the original map led to Dantopia City. The station is now completely closed save for a walking path west to Southland Plains Island and WaterZone. The old tunnels are now mostly used for maintenance by Southland Engineering and are off limits.
The agriculture complex to the west is where most of the food for Southland is grown, The structure is a massive greenhouse, with 10+ rows for growing, all properly irrigated. However, the farm is mostly useless since the map is rarely played in survival and when it is, the manor is not used at all.
Southland Courtyard is the leads directly into the manor itself, as well as a hidden door to Tays Hidden Garden, and to the south, leads further into the complex. Formerly, the courtyard extend west to Fort Dicks, but as part of renovations in 2014, the area in front of the fort was converted into a memorial for those lost in the Northland War, and that section of the courtyard was cut off. Tays Hidden Garden, just off of the entrance to the manor, is a small walled in garden, which was the site of the Old Southland Oak until it was cut down on April 20th, 2014 as part of the previously mentioned renovations of the manor complex.
Southland Manor itself begins with a modest living room, featuring a fire and 4 doors leading off to the guest chambers, pool, servants area, and dining hall, as well as stairs leading to the second floor of the manor. The guest quarters are a small detached apartment area for guests to stay. The chambers have been under renovation since 2018. The pool was built sometime in 2012 and is just a pool with a glass ceiling. The servants quarters are actually the former survival area of the manor, where the crafting and chests were once located. The area is now a kitchen, storage area, and quarters for servants. The dining hall off the south of the lower floor, is a sunken room with a decorative fountain, fireplace, and large table.
Upstairs of Southland Manor has been extensively remodeled over time. The stairs up now lead into a small sitting room with bookshelves, this area leads into a larger room that breaks off into the library, roof access, a balcony, and Taylors Tower. The library is the old bedroom of the manor and is now just a small room with bookshelves. The roof access leads to the attic, which was formerly the rooftop area of Southland Manor before the spire was removed in 2013. The balcony overlooks the Miners Memorial and the small lake to the west. Taylors Tower is the new personal quarters of Taylor. The first floor is a small sitting room with a balcony overlooking the hidden garden. The second floor of the tower is the personal office, with a desk area and walls lined with bookshelves. The staircase to the top floor was once hidden behind a bookshelf, but now is just an oak door. The domed top of the building is a private living quarters.
