Your town has playgrounds you've never heard of. Nearly 1M mapped worldwide — just open and go. No login **Your new Saturday morning routine** Check the weather before you leave the house. Filter by what actually matters — swings, splash pads, accessible equipment, surface type. Get directions. Save the ones your family loves. **The Playground Passport** Track every playground you visit. Earn badges. Watch your map fill up over the season. It turns "let's find a new one" into a family project your kids will actually want to keep going. **Found one we missed?** Submit a new playground right from the app. No login required. No hoops. Just add it. **Made by Bears with Apps** The Playground App is from Bears with Apps — we build family-first apps for discovering places together. **Features** • Find nearby playgrounds — "playgrounds near me" anywhere in the world • Almost 1 million playgrounds in the database • No account, no ads — open and explore instantly • Satellite and map views • Smart filters — amenities, sports, surface type, accessibility • Weather for playgrounds when available • One-tap directions • Favorites and visited history • Photo gallery — browse and upload • Share links and calendar invites • Help grow the database — add new playgrounds

Fantastic App for Getting the Kids Outside!

Juiced Machine
The Playground app is a must-have for any parent. It’s completely FREE, easy to use, and has no annoying subscriptions or login requirements. The best part? You can find playgrounds nearby or while traveling in just a few seconds. It’s perfect for those spur-of-the-moment trips to let the kids touch some grass and get active outdoors. The app has a huge database of playgrounds worldwide, so you’re covered wherever you go. You can even add new playgrounds you discover, making it a helpful tool for other parents too. This app has become our go-to for finding new spots to take the kids and spend some quality, active time together as a family. Highly recommend!

It has helped us find many playgrounds we did not know about. The simplicity of this app allows us to add playgrounds if they are not on the map! This is definitely a must have app.
