Find your family's people

ParkBench matches parents and couples with families like theirs. Playdates, double dates, shared sitters, travel buddies. Real friendships, not small talk at pickup.

The Problem

Every app forgot about families who are already together

Moms Only
Peanut
Great for moms. Excludes dads entirely. No couple-to-couple matching. No family filters.
Individuals
Bumble BFF
Matches one person to another. No concept of kid count, kid ages, or what your family actually needs.
Singles
Fourplay / Doubble
Pair-based matching exists, but only for dating. Married couples with kids need not apply.

Three steps to your next family friends

01

Build your family profile

Both parents, all kids. Ages, interests, neighborhood, and what you're looking for. One profile that represents your whole crew.

02

Match with similar families

ParkBench finds families near you with kids the same age, shared interests, and the same kind of connection you want.

03

Meet up and do life together

Coordinate playdates, plan a double date night, split a sitter, or book a family trip. Real friendships, built around real life.

Filters that actually matter to families

Not "favorite movies." ParkBench matches on the things that determine whether two families actually click.

Kid Count Kid Ages Parent Ages Proximity Shared Interests Parenting Style Connection Type

Playdate Friends

Kids the same age who live nearby. The easiest win.

Double Date Night

Another couple you actually want to spend a Saturday with.

Shared Sitters

Trade off watching each other's kids. Trust built on shared values.

Travel Buddies

Families who want to vacation together. Split the Airbnb.

Your family deserves a village

ParkBench is building the easiest way for families to find their people. Because raising kids is better when you're not doing it alone.
