The village isn't gone. We just need to rebuild it.
One parent or two — add your kids, ages, interests, and what you're looking for. Takes about 3 minutes.
ParkBench finds families in your zip code with kids the same age and the same vibe. No swiping, just good matches.
Plan a playdate, grab dinner, split a sitter, or plan a trip. Real friendships built around real family life.
Not "favorite movies." ParkBench matches on the things that determine whether two families actually click.
Kids the same age who live nearby. The easiest win.
Another family you actually want to spend a Saturday with — no kids required.
Trade off watching each other's kids. Trust built on shared values.
Families who want to vacation together. Split the Airbnb.
Families near you are already on ParkBench. It's free, it's Ohio-first, and it takes 3 minutes to join.
"I made this app for families like mine — busy with kids, school, sports, working, etc. The few times of downtime we look around and say 'man, what do we do?' Here we can find people and kids with similar interests, similar backgrounds. Sometimes old friends aren't at the same stage, and that's okay — because we can make new ones while keeping old friends. That goes double for single parents — you're doing more with less, and you deserve a village too. ParkBench is for every family structure."
