ACT Playground Structure Locations with Asset Attributes

ACTGOV Playground Structure Assets is a point dataset showing the locations of playground structures in the Australian Capital Territory. The data is owned or managed by City Services and the Parks and Conservation Service within the City and Environment Directorate. Attributes include location description, suburb, ownership, maintenance responsibility, and detailed asset sub-type.

Use Cases

• Map public playground distribution based on suburb and location description.
• Analyze asset composition based on the detailed list of asset sub-types (e.g., swings, slides, natural play elements).
• Assess maintenance responsibility and ownership patterns for public infrastructure.
• Plan new recreational facilities based on the geographic distribution of existing assets.

Strengths

• Provides a detailed categorization of playground equipment with over 50 distinct asset sub-types listed.
• Explicitly states the authoritative government directorates responsible for the data (City Services, Parks and Conservation Service).
• Data is captured through formal processes like works-as-executed handover or field audits.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset may not include assets managed privately or by other government directorates.
