The app

Built for the parks you love.

Log your visits, grow your stats, share your photos, and explore what everyone else is discovering — Park Pins makes every trip count.

Parks

Every park, beautifully collected.

Each park is its own hand-illustrated badge, on the list and pinned to the map. The ones you've visited light up in full color with a visit count, while the rest wait in grayscale. Collections you haven't unlocked yet show a lock.

  • Illustrated badge for every park, on the list and on the map
  • Visited parks fill in with color and a visit count
  • Browse as a list or the map, and filter by region

Visits

Log every trip.

Open any park to see its badge and the days you were there. Each visit is a dated stamp on the park, and you can add another whenever you go back.

  • Add a dated visit every time you go
  • See every trip to a park as its own stamp
  • Attach photos to remember each visit

Collect

Scratch to unlock.

The first time you log a park, you scratch its badge to reveal it in full color — a small, satisfying ritual that turns checking off a park into a moment worth celebrating.

  • Scratch off each badge the first time you visit
  • Watch the illustration burst into color
  • A delightful reward for every new park

Stats

Watch your map fill up.

Park Pins turns your visits into stats you'll actually want to chase. Each region shows your rank and how many parks are left until the next one. Under that, your whole collection is totaled: visits, this year, unique parks, and the ones you've returned to.

  • Region ranks from bronze through diamond
  • See how many parks are left until the next rank
  • Totals for every visit, this year, unique parks, and repeats
