🗑️ New Feature: Find Dog Waste Dispensers Near Every Park!
Woof woof, fellow dog parents! 🐕 We're excited to announce a pawsome new feature that'll make your park visits even more convenient and stress-free!
🎯 What's New?
You know that moment when you're at the dog park and realize you forgot to bring waste bags? Or when you're running low and wondering where the nearest dispenser is? Well, those days are over!
Introducing our new Hundesackerl Dispenser Locator! 🎉
Every dog park card now features a handy "Dispensers" button that shows you all nearby dog waste bag dispensers within a 2km radius. No more scrambling around looking for the nearest Kotsackerlspender!
🗺️ Interactive Maps & Walking Directions
When you tap the dispensers button, you'll see:
- 📍 Interactive map showing your park (pink marker) and all nearby dispensers (green markers)
- 📱 Mobile-optimized list of dispensers with exact distances
- 🚶♀️ Walking directions - just tap "Directions" for turn-by-turn navigation via Google Maps
- 📋 Complete dispenser details including street names and location info
🏙️ Vienna Coverage
We've started with Vienna's comprehensive network - that's over 4,000 dispensers mapped and ready to help you! The City of Vienna has done an amazing job providing these dispensers throughout the city, and now you can find them effortlessly through ParkBuddies.
🎨 Smart, Clean Design
The feature seamlessly integrates into your existing park experience:
- Always visible - the dispensers link appears on every park card
- Mobile-first - optimized for use while you're actually walking your dog
- Quick access - just one tap to see nearby options
- Map-first approach - see the big picture before diving into details
💡 Why This Matters
Keeping our dog parks clean is everyone's responsibility, and having easy access to waste bags makes it simple to do the right thing. Whether you forgot your bags at home or just want to know where to restock during a long walk, this feature has you covered.
Plus, it's all about community! When we all clean up after our pups, our beautiful Austrian Hundezonen stay welcoming and enjoyable for everyone - dogs, owners, and neighbors alike.
🚀 What's Next?
This Vienna launch is just the beginning! As we expand to other Austrian cities (and eventually Germany and Switzerland), we'll be mapping dispenser networks wherever we go.
Have feedback about the new feature? Found a dispenser that's not on our map? We'd love to hear from you! Drop us a line and help us make ParkBuddies even better for the whole community.
🐾 Happy Park Adventures!
Now get out there and explore those parks with confidence, knowing that a Hundesackerl dispenser is never far away! Your dog will thank you, the parks will stay beautiful, and you'll have one less thing to worry about during your daily adventures.
Ready to try it out? Head to any park page and look for the new dispensers button - it's the one with the little trash can icon! 🗑️
Tail wags and park adventures,
The ParkBuddies Team 🐕❤️
P.S. Remember: These dispensers are provided by the City of Vienna as a public service. Let's show our appreciation by using them responsibly and keeping our parks pristine for all to enjoy!
