+# Phase 4 Implementation Analysis - Django Models & API Structure
+
+## Django Models Analysis
+
+### Parks App Models Structure
+- **Location**: `backend/apps/parks/models/` (directory structure)
+- **Key Models**:
+  - `Park`: Main entity with operator (required), property_owner (optional)
+  - `ParkArea`: Areas within parks
+  - `ParkLocation`: Geographic location data
+  - `ParkReview`: User reviews
+  - `ParkPhoto`: Media attachments
+  - `Company` (aliased as `Operator`): Park operators
+  - `CompanyHeadquarters`: Company location data
+
+### Park Model Key Fields
+- `name`, `slug`, `description`, `status`, `park_type`
+- `opening_date`, `closing_date`, `operating_season`
+- `size_acres`, `website`
+- **Statistics**: `average_rating`, `ride_count`, `coaster_count`
+- **Images**: `banner_image`, `card_image` (ForeignKey to ParkPhoto)
+- **Relationships**: `operator` (required), `property_owner` (optional)
+- **Computed**: `opening_year`, `search_text`
+
+### Rides App Models Structure
+- **Location**: `backend/apps/rides/models/` (directory structure)
+- **Key Models**:
+  - `Ride`: Main ride entity
+  - `RideModel`: Ride model/type information
+  - `RollerCoasterStats`: Specific coaster statistics
+  - `Company`: Manufacturers/designers
+  - `RideLocation`: Geographic data
+  - `RideReview`: User reviews
+  - `RidePhoto`: Media attachments
+  - **Rankings**: `RideRanking`, `RidePairComparison`, `RankingSnapshot`
+
+## API Structure Analysis
+
+### Centralized API Architecture
+- **Base Path**: `backend/apps/api/v1/`
+- **Structure**: Organized by domain (parks, rides, auth, etc.)
+- **Key Endpoints**:
+  - `/v1/parks/` - Park data and operations
+  - `/v1/rides/` - Ride data and operations
+  - `/v1/auth/` - Authentication
+  - `/v1/stats/` - Statistics data
+  - `/v1/views/` - View-specific endpoints
+
+### Template Structure
+- **Base Template**: `templates/base/base.html` (850+ lines)
+- **Features**: Complete design system, dark/light mode, HTMX/Alpine.js integration
+- **Current State**: Only base template exists, need to create homepage
+
+## Data Requirements for Homepage
+
+### Statistics Dashboard
+- Total parks count
+- Total rides count
+- Total coaster count
+- Average park ratings
+- Recent activity metrics
+
+### Featured Content
+- Featured parks (highest rated, newest, popular)
+- Featured rides (top rated, newest additions)
+- Recent reviews and activity
+
+### Search Functionality
+- Global search across parks and rides
+- Filter by type, location, status
+- HTMX-powered dynamic results
+
+## Implementation Strategy
+
+### 1. Homepage Template Structure
+```
+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
