Parkdex

A Pokédex for parks on Vancouver Island.

I built Parkdex to turn a personal goal into a useful map and completion tracker for exploring Vancouver Island.

Built: Ongoing
Type: Independent product

117: provincial parks in the original goal
~200: parks and islands indexed

Parkdex showing the details and visit actions for Elk Falls Park — Each park connects the map to the practical details and visit tracking needed on a trip.

Why it exists

Parkdex began with one goal: visit all 117 provincial parks on Vancouver Island. I needed a better way to keep track of them and decide where to go next.

What I built

The web app maps roughly 200 national, provincial, regional, and island parks. I built profiles, search, wishlists, visit tracking, completion progress, and badges around one practical question: where should I go next?
