Inspiration

What Inspired Parky (Storyboard) We noticed how difficult it was to find parking downtown during busy events, even when empty driveways were just a few blocks away. That simple frustration sparked an idea: “What if parking worked like Airbnb, letting residents rent out their unused spots to nearby drivers?” From that thought, Parky was born, a platform that connects people who have space with people who need it.

What it does

Parky is a local community-based platform that helps: Homeowners/landowners list their available parking spaces for short-term or long-term rental.

Drivers find reliable, affordable parking near their destination fast.

Parky helps cities make better use of the space they already have, reducing congestion, promoting sharing, and strengthening local connections.

What's next for Parky

In the next version of Parky, we plan to integrate IoT and geolocation technologies to make the system even smarter: 📡 Sensors & Alerts Sensors on parking spots can detect when a vehicle arrives or leaves. Listers get real-time alerts when their parking spot has been approached or used. 📱 Mobile Platform A mobile-friendly app for Android and iOS, allowing users to find, list, and book parking instantly on the go. 🗺️ Geographic Mapping Interactive city maps (via Google Maps API) will display live available parking, pricing, and distances visually — making it easy for users to see what’s closest. 💳 Secure Payments & Verification Built-in payment integration and verified listing
