Adding Play Parks
A map of children's play parks and playgrounds within 10 miles of Cheltenham town centre, sourced from OpenStreetMap.
Cheltenham Open Data has published a new play parks page, mapping children’s playgrounds in and around Cheltenham.
It covers everything from neighbourhood play areas on housing estates to the playgrounds inside Montpellier Gardens, Sandford Park and Pittville, out to 10 miles from the town centre. Each play area has a map pin for directions, and the table can be sorted by name or by distance from the centre of town.
FAQs
What Does the Play Parks Page Show?
- A map and table of named, publicly accessible children’s play areas within 10 miles of Cheltenham town centre, with each one’s distance from the centre and a link for directions.
Where Does the Data Come From?
- OpenStreetMap, queried via the Overpass API and released under the Open Database Licence (ODbL).
How Often Is It Updated?
- Monthly — playgrounds rarely open or close, so it’s refreshed on the same schedule as car parks and cycle routes.
My Local Play Park Isn’t Shown — Why?
- Coverage depends on what’s been mapped in OpenStreetMap, and only named, publicly accessible play areas are listed. If yours is missing or wrong, it can be fixed at openstreetmap.org and will appear here next update.
