Why parents can trust Places to Play

Checked, not guessed

Every listing is built from official sources — the local council, the venue's own site, Ordnance Survey and OpenStreetMap.

Real, useful detail

Ages, equipment, parking, toilets, cafés and accessibility — with a "last verified" date and the sources on every page.

Independent & free

We're not affiliated with any council or venue. The site is free and ad-supported, and that never changes what we list.
