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.
Know a great place we're missing?
Tell us about a playground, park or play centre and we'll research it and add it.
