During the pandemic, outdoor spaces like Griffith Park have become treasured destinations for Los Angelinos. However, with such social limitations in place, the park saw soaring numbers of visitors, occasionally having to turn people away.

Insights

Having a choice helps people feel safe and reliable information helps people feel comfortable about their choices. Providing crowd density visualizations will help people predetermine their comfort levels before they go.
