Know what’s there before you go.

A playground can show photos, equipment, age suitability, area, ratings and directions. KidMap records seventeen kinds of equipment and facilities.

Playground

The default marker.

Highly rated

Review-backed rating above 4.5.

Has photos

Official or family-contributed pictures.

Available information depends on the playground and its local data source. Not every playground has every detail.

Better with every visit.

Take KidMap with you.

Find playgrounds near your hotel, around the old town, or along the route. The same map and the same detail work in a city you have never visited.

Near where you are staying

Search the address before you arrive and know where the nearest break is.

Along the drive

Find a stop between two long stretches of motorway.

Between the museum and lunch

Twenty minutes of running around, then lunch.

Start with a city

Built with family privacy in mind.

Playground photos can include people, so KidMap processes every uploaded picture before it is stored.

Faces are blurred

Detected faces are blurred automatically during upload.

Location data is dropped

Photos are re-encoded, so the original file’s GPS and camera metadata do not travel with them.

Browse without an account

No sign-in is needed to open the map and use it.

Automatic face detection is not perfect and KidMap does not claim it is. An inappropriate photo can be reported in the app, and a moderator removes it.

Useful from the moment you open it.

Free

Browse the map, search, filter, navigate, see playground details and photos, mark places visited and contribute what you know, with no subscription.

Questions

Is KidMap free?

Yes. The map, search, filters, directions, playground details, photos, visited marking and contributions are all free. Optional Premium removes ads and adds unlimited favourites and personal statistics.

Do I need an account?

Not to browse. You can open the map and use it straight away. Signing in with Apple is only needed to write reviews and make some contributions.

Where does KidMap work?

KidMap ships playground data for 56 countries and territories, with the deepest coverage across Europe, plus the United States, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and parts of Asia and the Middle East. How much detail exists varies by location and data source.

Is there an Android version?

Not at the moment. KidMap is built for iPhone.

Can I add a playground that is missing?

Yes, and it helps. You can add a missing playground, correct an existing one, mark its equipment and upload photos. A moderator checks new playgrounds before they join the shared map. Photos, equipment and reviews go up after automatic checks and can be reported.

Where does the playground data come from?

From public and open datasets, official and municipal sources where they are available, and families using the app. KidMap does not inspect playgrounds and does not certify that any playground is safe, open or still standing.
