Questions about New Zealand
How many playgrounds are there in New Zealand?
KidMap maps about 4,900 playgrounds in New Zealand. That figure comes from the source datasets, so treat it as approximate. The city pages below carry exact counts inside each city boundary: 2,921 playgrounds across 11 cities.
Which cities in New Zealand does KidMap cover?
Every city in New Zealand is on the map. 11 of them have a page here: Auckland, Christchurch, Wellington, Tauranga, Dunedin, Rotorua, Hamilton, Nelson and more. A city gets its own page once at least 60 playgrounds are mapped inside its boundary.
Is the data complete?
No, and no playground map is. Coverage comes from OpenStreetMap, municipal open data and families using the app, so it is deeper in some cities than in others, and a small playground can be missing. A detail that is not shown means "not recorded", not "not there".
Is KidMap free?
Yes. The map, search, filters, directions, playground details and photos are free. Optional Premium removes ads and adds extra convenience features.
