The Mom Maps iPhone application has mapped more than 24,000 kid-friendly spots across the nation, including playgrounds and other venues that provide kids with much-needed space for recreational and other engaging activities.

This innovative iPhone app focuses on tracking and mapping places children love and moms deem safe, including parks, playgrounds, museums and restaurants.

In addition to giving parents, sitters and other child care providers quick and easy access to an extensive list of venues that cater to kids, Mom Maps also lets users search for indoor play areas by individual categories.

This comprehensive play guide provides contact information, reviews by parents, and directions to over 24,000 locations nationwide, meaning users can take advantage of the information Mom Maps provides whether they’re in their hometown or on the road. For instance, New Yorkers can find new places in their neighborhood of which they might not be aware, and tourists can feel like a local when visiting the Big Apple by using Mom Maps to find the best and safest venues during their trip.

Mom Maps uses an extensive community of “Mappers”—parents, family travel experts, parent bloggers and more—who contribute by locating and pinning popular places where kids can interact with their peers. The information the app provides offers insights and suggestions, as the following examples from the application illustrate:

Bryant Park: “A great park with a large lawn, an awesome carousel and a kids reading area (open spring through fall). All at the back of the main New York Public Library.”

Tompkins Square Playground: “A newly renovated playground with swings, sandbox, and everything a kid needs… within a nice large square/park.”

Union Square Playground: “A great large playground in the north side of Union Square, divided to a younger toddlers area with sandbox and swings and a wide space for bigger toddlers/kids. Brand a new playground with cool facilities.”
