First Post

A few weeks ago I was trying to find a park halfway between my home and a friend's who lives 3 hours away, and I finally had to resort to looking at Google satellite view to find one, and didn't have any idea what to expect when we got there.

Turns out, it was an awesome park and it isn't on any map. When we moved here from Texas, we were also on the look for a good park to stop for Isaac, and couldn't find anything then either. There is one website that people can list their parks for others to find that I found, and it doesn’t have any parks listed for NC. Or Texas. Or any place in between really. There are a few state and city specific websites that do that function, but not many.

So I decided there really needed to be a searchable database of parks. And I'm going to work on it, with, hopefully, help from my friends.
