HOW IT WORKS

A clearer way to choose a dog park

Open the map, tap an Antwerp dog park, see which dogs are there, check in with yours. Here is the whole visit, from the first map view to checking out on your way home.

  1. The Antwerp map zooms from the whole city in to the Kiel: three parks with their outlines drawn, and a card for Kielpark at the bottom with five pups playing now

    01

    Explore the map

    Every dog park in Antwerp sits on the map as a pin: the whole city list, not a selection. Zoom in on one and its outline is drawn on the map, so you can see where the run starts and stops before you walk over.

  2. The same three parks on the map: one dog checks in at each in turn, the number on that pin goes up, its colour deepens and a ring pulses around it

    02

    See live counts

    Each pin carries a small badge with the number of dogs checked in right now, and the colour deepens as a park fills up. When a dog checks in while you are watching, a halo pulses around that pin. No badge means nobody has checked in.

  3. The Waterhoenlaan park screen with area, ground, fencing, gates, bins and lighting from the city data

    03

    Open a park

    Tap a park to open it: its photo, who is standing in it now, and what the city recorded about the place — area, ground, fencing and lighting. Directions open in Google Maps when you want help getting there.

  4. The check-in screen set to Now, with a slider for how long you are staying

    04

    Check in with your dog

    Describe your dog once, choose Now and set how long you expect to stay. If you are still at home, choose Later instead and say roughly when your dog will turn up.

  5. The park screen split in two: who's here now above, who's coming later below, with one card open on its photo, bio and four tags

    05

    Let others see your dog

    A park lists the dogs there now and the ones coming later, each with a photo, size, sex, age group, social style and a short bio if there is one. Yours appears the same way: the dog you described, not your name or live location.

  6. The park screen with the extend-stay panel at the bottom: a slider from fifteen minutes to two hours and the Extend stay button

    06

    Check out or extend

    When plans change, check out or extend the stay so the park signal stays useful for the next owner.

WHAT'S NEXT

Help decide what we build next

Nothing beyond these six steps is settled. The ideas we are weighing sit together on one page, each with a vote button: back the one you want first, or write down the thing you keep wishing the app did.
