ACT Government Public Playground Locations and Features

ACT Government data catalogs publicly managed playground locations. It includes attributes like playground type, division name, play area count, upgrade year, and listed features such as climbers and swings. The dataset is maintained by City Presentation and Parks and Conservation Service through work handovers and field audits.

Use Cases

• Analyze playground type distribution across division names to assess community resource allocation.
• Correlate upgrade year with listed features like climbers or swings to track modernization trends.
• Map playground locations against usage and shade attributes for urban planning and heat mitigation.
• Assess play area count and total structures to evaluate playground capacity and complexity.

Strengths

• Includes specific asset attributes like playground type, play area count, and listed features.
• Managed by authoritative ACT Government directorates through defined handover and audit processes.

Limitations

• Polygons are not precisely mapped and may aggregate multiple play areas, limiting spatial accuracy.
• Excludes privately managed playgrounds and those managed by other ACT Government directorates, creating incomplete coverage.
