Mill Creek MetroParks Launches Mobile App

Mill Creek MetroParks visitors now have a new way to access information on the entire park system including facilities, points of interest, trails and more from their mobile devices. Using the OuterSpatial platform, the new mobile application is free and available for both iPhone and Android devices. The app includes offline mapping and navigation allowing users continued access even without a cell phone signal.

Visitors can use the app to:
• Plan a visit and make the most of the visit
• Navigate while on trails
• Discover new places
• Locate parking, restrooms, picnic areas, and other park amenities
• Access information about ecological, geological, and historical points of interest
• Receive notifications about hazards, closures, and other timely information
• Special event information
• Share experiences and photos and connect with others who love the outdoors
• Report conditions, hazards, and incidents at visited locations

“The new mobile app provides users with the ability to easily access park information and navigation at their fingertips. The app is another resource for visitors to use in helping to guide them with planning and improving their visit,” said Jaime Yohman, Mill Creek MetroParks Community Engagement Director. “It’s a tool users can also rely on while in the park for accurate, up-to-date information on trails, closures, and recreation information throughout the MetroParks.”
