User reviews

Will miss one of my most used apps!

..

Useful!

Does what I wanted: shows me what is happening in the parks, where they are, and on what day.
Could it have more features and a slicker interface? Sure, but this is a free app put out by the parks district, and considering that I am actually quite impressed with how good it is.
Recommended.

Design system improvement needed

Development team needs to revisit their design system to reflect new phones as my iPhone 12 back button is way to close to the top of the header.

Not the app I used to know

Finally redownloaded after years of not using it. This new version is *not* optimized for iPhone 13 screens, the top and bottom UI clash with the native IOS buttons and make them incredibly annoying to tap. More simplistic view of events associated with each park but it seems like either they cut down on events or things are missing. Also miss classes at each park buildings being listed. App feels chopped up, not redesigned.

Not as useful as I was hoping

I was hoping that in addition to general events, I would be able to log into this app to keep track of the classes my family signs up for. It’s probably useful if you want to see what’s going on in the parks, but if you use the park district for more than the free events, it’s not as helpful as it could be.
