A dad got lost in Paris trying to find a park for his toddler. He came home and built ParkPal.

Filter by age, fencing, shade, accessibility & more. Real safety ratings from parents. Works in every US city. Free, no ads, built by one dad for his daughter Portia.
Hey PH! π I'm Mustafa, a dad from San Diego.
Two years ago I took my daughter Portia to Paris and spent two hours walking in circles trying to find a safe, shaded park for a toddler. Google Maps just showed pins β no parent reviews, no safety info, nothing useful.
I came home and spent a year building what I wished existed. ParkPal works in every US city, has AI that answers questions like "what parks near me are good for a 1-year-old?" and shows real safety ratings from other parents.
Just launched on Android this week alongside iOS. Free, no ads, solo built.
Would love your feedback β what would make it more useful for your family? π³
Love the origin story here, getting lost trying to find a decent park with a toddler is such a relatable problem. The safety ratings from parents piece is the part I'm most curious about though. How are you solving the cold start on that, since a brand new app needs real reviews before the filtering actually means anything? Did you seed it yourself for your area first or is it fully crowdsourced from day one?
Love that you built this after your own Paris mishap with Portia, and the plain language query like "good for a 1-year-old" is such a smart way to cut through typical filter overload.
How does the AI actually decide which parks are good for a specific age like a 1-year-old, is it pulling from reviews or some kind of feature checklist?
Asked it about shaded playgrounds within 10 minutes of me and it nailed two spots I didn't even know existed, which is rare for these kinds of apps. Love that the safety ratings come from other parents.
