Frustrating. I used this app to find a park on a road trip. I kept coming up with nothing in the area, and then I plugged in parks to Google and boom. 7 parks within 6 miles. Maybe this ap is still growing, and that's fine but right now 7/30/22 it isn't worth using. Google maps works better even if you have to filter through the nonsense.

It's great for finding a playground quickly, but I would like to be able to search by accessibility for my son with disabilities. Could this be added to the list of search options as well as a specific section on each playground description? (ie: is there an adaptive swing, platform swing for wheelchair users, ramp access to the playground equipment, some kind of base other than gravel or wood chips that can be navigated easier, equipment that is designed for all abilities, etc.)

I absolutely love this app. I have recommended it to literally every parent I meet at parks and playgrounds, playgroups and libraries, and just mutual friends! My daughter is extremely active so getting outside to burn off energy is a must. I hated googling "playgrounds near me" cos they never were. It was always the extremely packed and popular ones! But this app has saved me and my little girl's summer during Covid as we've explored park after park. We also love taking photos for the community
