Looking for info on Vancouver’s parks? There's an app for that.

Vancouver Parks—available free for iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad—hit Apple's App Store in December. Released by the Vancouver park board, the app displays city parks on a map and lets you see which ones are near to your location.

You can also browse parks alphabetically, and bring up photos and basic details about each park, such as its address and facilities. For more information, the app links to each park's webpage.
