Born from the patrol

It all started with Poppy. Every day, she patrols the park from her sidecar. Nose up, ears back, spotting squirrels, shortcuts, and surprises.

Now, the stories and sightings from her patrol feed into something bigger: a guide that helps everyone enjoy the park.

A community guide, not just a calendar

This isn't an official bulletin board. It's powered by the people who use the park every day.

  • Runners logging detours or major races
  • Families sharing festivals
  • Musicians posting gigs
  • Neighbors tipping each other off

When you add to it, the whole community wins.
