ParkPal is an AI-powered app that helps community members access reliable, up-to-date information about San José-area parks. Users can upload a photo of a park sign, and the AI will identify the park and provide details such as accessibility features, fitness and playground amenities, hours, picnic areas, and more. An assistant feature also allows users to ask specific questions. The students used generative AI and official park data from the City of San José, making ParkPal more accurate than general tools like ChatGPT.
