+```
+templates/
+├── base/
+│   └── base.html (existing)
+├── pages/
+│   └── homepage.html (new)
+├── components/
+│   ├── hero-section.html
+│   ├── featured-parks.html
+│   ├── featured-rides.html
+│   ├── stats-dashboard.html
+│   └── recent-activity.html
+└── partials/
+    ├── park-card.html
+    ├── ride-card.html
+    └── search-results.html
+```
+
+### 2. API Endpoints Needed
+- `/api/v1/stats/homepage/` - Homepage statistics
+- `/api/v1/parks/featured/` - Featured parks
+- `/api/v1/rides/featured/` - Featured rides
+- `/api/v1/search/global/` - Global search
+
+### 3. HTMX Integration Points
+- Dynamic search results
+- Featured content loading
+- Statistics updates
+- Infinite scroll for content
+
+### 4. Alpine.js Enhancements
+- Search state management
+- Theme switching
+- Interactive animations
+- Client-side filtering
+
+## Next Steps
+1. Create homepage template extending base template
+2. Implement hero section with search
+3. Add featured content sections
+4. Create statistics dashboard
+5. Add HTMX partial templates
+6. Integrate Alpine.js interactions
