I also vote for Nashville, TN. Dragon Park (nickname) or Percy Warner would be perfect. C'mon... that's at least three votes for Nashville! :)

I found it really easy. It only takes as long as you want the walk around the park to be. Follow the route you want to take & take a couple of pictures along the way. The builder puts everything in the right place.

Well there are a LOT of parks in my city and I will be making up some builds in a few of them I'll tell you how it goes.

Can anyone post their impressions of the park builder and an idea of how easy/hard or time consuming it is to do? I'm impressed with the pictures and it sounds like people enjoy the game, but I'd like to know that it's easily replicated for a new park via the builder. Thanks in advance! bj EDIT: Just found some videos on youtube, so that helps a bit.

Boulder, Colorado! We have great parks and a ton of public open space -- it would be great to do something up in Chautauqua Park, Boulder's beautiful land at the base of the Flatirons.

Hi, Jacksonville, Florida has a beautiful park called Hogan's Creek. There is a citywide Improvement effort underway, and The Hidden Park would be a fabulous catalyst to bring people to the park. Pick us! Pretty Please!

Wondering what the latest status on the Park Builder is. We live in Boulder, Colorado and are waiting patiently to create the experience for our kids in this amazing town.

I recon you should add Victoria Park in Australia. It is a really fun place where I learn't a lot as a kid.

@bulpadok I'm sorry for not responding sooner. What do you need as far as photos go for locations? I'd gladly help you guys out if this will bring you to Philadelphia!

Guys, I can't believe you haven't got Berlin on your list! This city is absolutely teeming with iPhone users and boasts one of the greatest parks in all of Europe! Check out the Berlin Tiergarten on google maps and tell me I'm wrong. Off course this can only be an oversight and I am certain that once you realise your mistake you will rectify it immediately. I can't wait!!!

Please Please Please add a park in Brisbane - Roma ST Parklands has just received a major parks award, or you could go the Brisbane botanical gardens as you have in other Australian cities. I'm part of a large network of iPhone using educators and would love to be able to promote the app to them! (In fact I just did send them all some info).

I'm gonna second Nashville, TN. It's a wonderful city and full of great parks to choose from. Centennial park and the Bicentennial Park would be cool. And both have great historical significance to the area. Nashville Tech community is ever-growing and very close-knit. There is another GPS specific game called GPSassassins that was developed by Nashvillians and the amount of people that play that in this city is insane, proving the market exists for something like this.

Nashville, Tennessee would be an awesome city. Either Dragon Park (very unique and cool), Centennial Park (our downtown park) or Percy Warner Park (huge) would be amazing and diverse parks to do it in. Nashville is a very family friendly and extremely creative city with lots of iPhone users.

Bunker Hills Park, the jewel of the Anoka County parks system in Minnesota. Bunker Hills features Bunker Beach, a wave pool, water slides, kiddie sand pit area, and a future lazy river, concessions, water obstacles. It's a great water park destination in the Minneapolis / St. Paul suburb. Bunker Hills Golf Course and Bunker Hills Stables are also part of Bunker Hills Park. The Golf course offers dining amenities and a pro club. The Stables offers hay rides and horse back riding opportunities throughout the park. The park has many trails and has a Nature Center offering classes on orientation, kids fishing clinics, snowshoeing, canoeing, and tons more. There are trails, children's playgrounds, picnic shelters and campgrounds all throughout the park! Please consider this park, it's an awesome all around park in MN and heavily visited. <a href="http://www.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&ie=UTF8&cd=1&geocode=FSftsQIdBbVw-g&split=0&layer=x&g=Bunker+Hills+Park+Pond,+Andover,+Anoka,+Minnesota+55304&ll=45.216994,-93.255043&spn=0.053931,0.154324&z=13" rel="nofollow">http://www.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&ie=UTF8&cd=1&geocode=FSftsQIdBbVw-g&split=0&layer=x&g=Bunker+Hills+Park+Pond,+Andover,+Anoka,+Minnesota+55304&ll=45.216994,-93.255043&spn=0.053931,0.154324&z=13</a>

Hi Dragon King We're currently putting together an update for Fairies Everywhere! There's a lot going on in the THP studio at the moment, but we'll be getting it onto the app store asap. Regards The Game Keepers.

I just tried Fairies Everywhere! and when I accept a photo to use, it comes up black and then the fairies get scattered on that. I couldn't get it to use the picture taken. Are these apps compatibile with the larger photos on the new phone?

Maymont - Richmond, Virginia. It's a park, it's a historical museum, it's an aquarium, it's a nature conservatory! <a href="http://www.maymont.org/NetCommunity/Page.aspx?pid=217" rel="nofollow">http://www.maymont.org/NetCommunity/Page.aspx?pid=217</a> It's also only 1 hour from my house and my childen would love this! Of course I'd blog/tweet about it as well! :)

Hi guys - thanks for all the fantastic park suggestions! Because we've been totally inundated with responses (both on this forum and direct to our email) we're putting the power to create parks in your hands! The Hidden Park Game Keepers are developing a park builder app, which will mean that good people, like yourselves, can go out to your local parks and set up the game there. You can even share it with your friends! Keep sending in GPS points and pics - we'll add them to the game as they come in. But for those who want the thrill of instant satisfaction, the park builder will be up and running in the next few weeks. More details to come! The Game Keepers

Denver, CO has a number of large parks that would be perfect to "map"/include in this great app. Plus Denver would give you a strategic presence in the western US amongst a very recreational population.

I would love to see Forest Park in St. Louis be park of this. Forest Park is one of St. Louis' most treasured resources. Located in the heart of the city, it is the heart of our city. Forest Park belongs to all St. Louisans. Forest Park, officially opened to the public on June 24, 1876, is one of the largest urban parks in the United States. At 1,293 acres, it is approximately 500 acres larger than Central Park in New York. In 1904, the Louisiana Purchase Exposition..The St. Louis World’s Fair...drew more than 20 million visitors from around the world to Forest Park. Today it attracts more than 12 million visitors a year. It is more than a scenic backdrop to our city. It is an active participant and catalyst in the St. Louis community. Monuments, historic buildings, wildlife, waterways and landscapes combine to form a unique cultural institution that is vitally important to the entire St. Louis region. The park is recognized as an important gathering place where people of all ages, races and economic backgrounds can gather and mix in a positive way. It is the home to the region’s major cultural institutions—the Zoo, Art Museum, History Museum, Science Center and the Muny Opera. It also serves as a sports center for golf, tennis, baseball, bicycling, boating, fishing, handball, ice skating, roller blading, jogging, rugby and more. Forest Park is equally significant from a naturalistic perspective. In a city where 80% of the land has been developed for business, industry or residential uses, the park serves as a natural oasis for the city, an important source of green space, a respite for migrating birds, and an integrated ecosystem where humans and nature interact.

This is a great concept folks, looks like a lot of fun for hours of play. Good job on taking a new concept in gaming and applying it to a user base with so many available players. I could see my family enjoying this immensely if..... There were maps available in the Greater Vancouver Area. There are many parks here as green space is vital to the city planning. Stanley Park is 400 Hectares at the edge of the downtown core, Queen Elizabeth Park is 53 Hectares and both incorporate many features of active living. Queens Park in New Westminster (a Suburb) also offers woodlands, pathways and optics that look like they would fit with your design. I'm voting for Vancouver here and I'm sure I wouldn't be alone. Wouldn't mind doing the directed field work to help create content and get Vancouver rolling either. Cheers! Andrew.
