The App

The app itself is designed to be easy and fun to use. You may search for parks by clicking on the 3 icons on the left side of the navbar. In left to right order, the 1st icon (US map) allows you to find parks by their state in alphabetical order; the 2nd icon (map with pin) allows you to find parks via map; the 3rd icon (tag) allows you to find parks by their associated tag(s). You may add new parks by clicking on the mountains and forests icon.
