Appondale is a land area in Animal Jam that was released on April 16, 2011, and February 1, 2016, for Play Wild. This land is believed to be modeled after a typical savannah. Appondale is located on the far left side of the map next to Jamaa Township.
Attractions
There is a mud pool in Appondale. When a Jammer stays in the mud for a long amount of time, they are covered in variable amounts of mud depending on how long they have been in the pool. To wash the mud off, the Jammer has to move around, complete an action, or wash off in a body of water (i.e. Crystal Sands.)
Shops
- Claws N' Paws - A pet shop, where Jammers can buy many different pets and items for their pets. It also contains a physical version of the pet stop, and the Pet Den Item Shop.
