🎉 New Park Detail Pages & Navigation Features!

Woof woof, ParkBuddies! We've been busy as a squirrel-chasing pup, and we're thrilled to announce some pawsome new features that'll make your dog park adventures even better! 🐕

🏞️ Beautiful New Park Detail Pages

Ever wanted to know EVERYTHING about a dog park before heading out? Now you can! Click on any park name in our parks list, and you'll discover a treasure trove of information:

📍 What You'll Find on Each Park Page

  • Interactive Map 🗺️ - See exactly where the park is located
  • Real-Time Check-ins 👥 - Know which furry friends are currently playing
  • Community Photos 📸 - Browse pictures from fellow dog parents
  • Ratings & Reviews ⭐ - Read what others think and share your own experience
  • Park Amenities 💧 - Fencing status, water fountains, size, and more!
  • Current Weather ☀️ - Because nobody likes a muddy surprise!

🎯 Easy Navigation Between Sections

We've made it super simple to explore all this info with our new tabbed interface:

  • Info Tab - Quick overview with all the essential details
  • Who's Here - See which pups are currently playing (with live count!)
  • Comments - Read community reviews and tips
  • Photos - Browse the park gallery (click any photo for full-screen view!)

🧭 Never Get Lost Again!

Finding your way to the perfect dog park just got a whole lot easier:

🚶 Walking Directions

Both on the park detail page AND in the park info popup, you'll now find a shiny "Get Directions" button. One tap and Google Maps opens with walking directions from your current location. Because let's be honest - we're walking our dogs, not driving them! 🐕‍🦺

📱 Mobile-Friendly Design

We know you're checking ParkBuddies while out and about, so we've optimized everything for your phone:

  • Compact navigation tabs that fit your screen
  • Touch-friendly photo gallery with swipe navigation
  • Perfectly sized maps that don't take over your whole screen
  • Quick action buttons for rating and navigation

🌟 Rate & Review Parks

Had an amazing time at a park? Let others know! You can now rate parks from 1-5 stars and leave helpful comments for the community. Already rated a park? No worries - you can update your rating anytime!

📊 Quick Park Stats at a Glance

On the parks listing page, we've added a photo count for each park. Now you can see which parks have the most community photos before even clicking through!
