FAQs

How Many Play Parks Are There in Cheltenham?

The table shows every named, publicly accessible play area recorded within 10 miles of the town centre. The count is at the top of the page and changes as new playgrounds are added or removed.

Are These Play Areas Free to Use?

Public play areas are free to use. Playgrounds that belong to schools, pubs and restaurants and are only open to pupils or customers are left out.

Where Does the Play Area Data Come From?

Locations come from OpenStreetMap, the open map maintained by volunteers, and are refreshed monthly. If a play area is missing or wrong, anyone can correct it on OpenStreetMap and the fix will appear here on the next update.

Which Play Areas Suit Toddlers and Which Suit Older Children?

Age suitability and equipment are rarely recorded, so it is worth checking on arrival. A few sites are named separately for younger children, such as toddler areas, so look for those in the table.
