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 national park is its own hand-illustrated badge. The ones you've visited light up in full color with a visit count, while the rest wait quietly in grayscale — so your collection tells the story of where you've been at a glance.

  • Gorgeous illustrated badge for every national park
  • Visited parks fill in with color and a visit count
  • Browse as a list or jump to the map, and filter by region

Visits

Log every trip.

Open any park to see its badge and record the days you were there. Add as many visits as you like — each one is dated and kept on the park, building a personal timeline of every adventure.

  • Add a dated visit every time you go
  • See all your trips to a park in one place
  • 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
