About the data

Where it comes from

Every playground on this site comes from two open sources: OpenStreetMap, the free map of the world built by volunteers, and council open data published by local authorities on data.gov.ie.

How we check it

We combine both sources, remove duplicates and private or school-only play areas, and match each playground to its town, county and local authority. When a playground appears in both the council's list and on OpenStreetMap, we mark it as confirmed by both. Information was last checked on 13 November 2026.

Larger playgrounds and those with more details get their own page. Smaller local ones are shown on county and town pages and on the map, each with directions.

Spotted a mistake?

Playgrounds change. If something is wrong or a playground is missing, send us a report and we'll check it.
