Ben Franklin Park

Benjamin Franklin Park is a semi-prominent location in beWilderverse Philadelphia. Located in the suburbs of the city in the same greater outskirts area as Easy Street, it is a traditional public green space in a larger city. Big enough to freely contain several dozen people, it is a popular spot for all kinds of people in the city. The park has a prominent walking trail for pedestrians and joggers, as well as open grass large enough for local sports leagues to play games on, including organized baseball.

Ben Franklin park appears several times during the game Noemi's Toscana Rebirth, particularly in Noemi's days off and during the Damon character arc. It's name comes from the well known historical figure, American founding father and noted Philadelphia resident Benjamin Franklin.

Description
Ben Franklin park is a large open green space in the suburbs of beWilder's Philadelphia. The park has a very large, but unspecified, square acreage of green grass and open space. The park is often used as a sports field, a picnic area, an open play space for kids, an exercise area, a running park and a relaxation spot, sometimes all at once. Many groups, from local sports teams, families, exercisers and even stoners enjoy making use of the park.

Among the open grass areas, the park also contains a paved walking path lined with benches, lampposts, decorative railings and bushes, even an enclosed stone pedestrian tunnel to the other end of the park. This is the area most often seen within beWilder content.

Points of Interest
With Ben Franklin park being a larger area as a whole, it also has within itself a collection of sub-locations and points of interest. Included among these are notable places such as:


 * Noemi and Damon's Park Bench. After meeting thanks to an accidental blow to the head, Noe and Damon often meet up, sit, eat, chat and even date at their own special park bench along the pedestrian pathway . At times, their fun and games on the bench have become risque, as both of them expose themselves at Noe's pushing while meeting for lunch one time . It's become a sentimental spot to her, enough that Noe once scolded Beck for sitting on the same bench when meeting him in the park for for a bet. Note: This bench is not to be confused with the one used when Noe and Kriem meet up in their own events. That is a separate seat further down the pathway.

Major Events
During the course of the game Noemi's Toscana Rebirth, Ben Franklin park serves as the backdrop and location for a number of important and minor events throughout. Some of the more important include:
 * Noemi and Damon First Meet. While walking in the park on her day off, Noe was the victim of an errant pitch thrown by Damon, hitting her on the head and bringing him into her life. The park became a place for them to meet and deepen their new friendship as Damon often plays baseball and trains in the park .It was thanks to this encounter that a new friendship and relationship formed, one which is the focus of a major character arc in Noemi's Toscana Rebirth.
 * Noemi and Beck's Race. During Beck's character arc, one of their hyper-competitive bets involved a barefoot race along a leg of the pedestrian pathway of the park. It was thanks to this heated race that their head to head battling grew to contain a sexual element, starting right there in the park.
 * Noemi and Kriem Bonding. Using her days off, Noe spends time with Kriem in the park and through conversation managed to grow closer to the usually closed off girl. These efforts pay off in Noe's attempts to understand her new friend and waitress more, as well as help Kriem become more Open Minded on a number of issues, an important step in helping both of them in Noe's struggles during Noemi's Toscana Rebirth.
