What a beautiful and well organized app. Easy to use. You can move about in the park, click on things you want to see and get instant information regarding hours of operations, telephone numbers, handicapped access, etc. There are even information audios about the parks historic events/people. An absolute must have for visitors and residents of the city.

This worked just fine on my S5. Just upgraded to the Note7, tried to open the app only to find out it's no longer working. Can't get passed the loading screen... UPDATE: turned off wifi and it's working again. So strange...
