About ParkMagnet

What We Do

ParkMagnet helps people discover and explore urban parks across major US cities. We complement official city resources by gathering the practical details that matter when planning a visit - sports facilities, playgrounds, water features, restrooms, parking, shade coverage, and more.

Our information comes from direct visits, official city data, and community input. Each park has its own character, and we try to capture both the facilities and the feeling of each space - from meticulously landscaped showpieces to hidden neighborhood courts where the basketball hoops might not have nets but the games are legendary.

For City Park Departments

We're grateful for the work city park departments do in creating and maintaining these green spaces that we love so much. ParkMagnet aims to support that work by helping more residents and visitors find and enjoy your parks.

If you'd like to ensure your parks are represented accurately, we welcome:

  • Official photos and media
  • Facility updates and corrections
  • Event calendars and programming information
  • Links to your official resources

Also, we often receive inquiries about park rentals and reservations, which we currently direct to the appropriate city departments. If your city would be interested in exploring a more streamlined booking solution, we'd love to hear from you.

Please reach out through our contact form, using ParkMagnet Website Feedback as the contact type, and we'll get back to you.

For the Community

Know something we don't about a park? Found an error? We welcome your input - this project grows through shared knowledge and experiences. Reach out through our contact form to share information about any park in our database.

We're continually adding more cities and parks, with the goal of eventually covering every significant urban park in the US. Thanks for being part of the journey!
