I would really like this app to be in my city! It looks like so much fun! But I live in a little town. Logan, WV. The local park is Chief Logan State Park.

Hi Chellerae
Thanks for being the first visitor to our site!
It doesn't matter how big or small your hometown is - if there's enough people who want to play our game then we'll bring it to you. Get your family and friends on board - maybe even join forces with a larger town nearby.
We're open to all suggestions!

You should do Chico, CA. Our park is 3,600 acres and wraps around the city. I believe it's second to Central Park in the US, in terms of acreage.

I would love to see this in Philadelphia. Rittenhouse square would be perfect because it's central.

Please add parks in Sheffield, England to this app. There's lots of good places for trolls, fairies and tree genies as it is (seriously) the greenest city in England! :)

Hi Guys
Those are three great suggestions! To get those parks online, we need you to do some scouting for us.
It doesn't take much time, but it does require you to go to the parks and take some photos. If you can do this, then you'll become a Hidden Park location manager and be credited in the game (if you want to be, of course).
Email us at parks@thehiddenpark.com for more information.
Hope to hear from you soon,

Please, please, please come to Reid Park in Tucson, Arizona. We've got the Tucson Zoo as well as acres and acres of park to explore - this would be a fantastic spot!!!

Please put Zurich (Switzerland) on your agenda! There are lots of great parks in Zurich and a lot of iPhone users, too.
One of the best parks: The Zurich lakeside from Utoquai to Zurichhorn with several of landmarks.

World's Fair Park in Knoxville, TN is a terrific park with many really interesting and diverse landscapes. There are several walk through gardens, fountains and bridges. And there's the Sunsphere overlooking it. It would be a marvelous location for this app. Info is here:

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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).

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!!!

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

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.
