Which playgrounds are due, and whose equipment is in themSample

5,819 pieces of public play equipment held by 19 cities and park agencies, read from the asset registers they keep themselves. For each one: how much is past the usual replacement age, which parks hold the oldest structures, and which makers built what is aging out.

Public playground equipment is usually replaced after 15 to 20 years. Rockville, Maryland states its own rule as 17 to 20 years. A register is a city's working file, so some are out of date. Each one below shows when it was last edited, and the totals marked current leave the stale ones out.

Who made the equipment that is aging out

Counts are pieces of equipment, not playgrounds. A maker with many pieces past 15 years has installed sites coming up for replacement, and so do its competitors.

How this was made

What is behind the numbers, and what is missing

We searched 1,441 public map services for playground layers and found 517. 126 of them have a column for an install date or a replacement plan, and 79 of those are in the United States, across 29 states. Most of those columns turned out to be empty, and a few layers were demonstration data. The 19 registers here are the ones where the publishing account or server belongs to the agency and the rows are real.

That gap is the reason for the next step. Most cities keep this list in a spreadsheet or a maintenance system and do not publish it. It is a public record, and it comes out when someone asks for it.

No coordinates were collected. Each figure can be checked against the linked layer.
