WHY PARKBUDS
Parks are more fun with friends. ParkBuds helps you discover nearby enthusiasts, coordinate meetups, and turn a solo visit into a shared ride day.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

Find your crew
- Browse members at your favorite parks.
- See age, ride preferences, pace, preferred group size, and coasters ridden.
- Follow members whose vibe matches yours.

Post signals
- Drop an "At the park now" signal to rally a crew in the next few hours.
- Plan "Future visit" signals for a specific day and time.
- Set group size, meet location, and meet time so everyone knows the plan.

Meet up safely
