Hoi säme!
I recently put together a website: https://playmap.ch
I made this for my own needs to start, with two young kids and looking for nearby playgrounds. Makes it just slightly easier than with Organic Maps.
Some feedback I got is that many of the playgrounds I pulled into the map are on private property. This is after I already filtered out anything with access=private.
I was thinking I could overlay my data on property parcels to remove any on private parcels but I am sure that some number of somewhat public playgrounds may be lost there anyway: does anyone have an opinion on that?
Otherwise I was thinking putting the results of this overlay onto MapRoulette might be a nice community project to add access tags, but it can be difficult also without local knowledge.
If anyone has interest or thoughts, I appreciate to hear from you.
Freundliche Grüsse

I would add a note on https://playmap.ch/about indicating that not all playgrounds are public.
Even public playgrounds are not always accessible (e.g., at school buildings). Private playgrounds sometimes want visitors (e.g., at restaurants).

Hi Christopher
Nice this specialised map for children playgrounds. I think I is a great help for parents and grand parents like me as well. Maybe you could extend it to children related places like fireplaces (firepit in OSM) in wood as well.
Cheers
Peter

Hi Peter
Yes I am actually planning to consider a big extension for everything interesting to parents with children. Firepit/Grillplatz is a very good one. Also I thought:
- stores confirmed to have a children's play area - Kinderarzt - Kita - waterpark (Indoor/Outdoor)
Many more would be good, I welcome any ideas!
