Methodology and sources
Numbers on this page update hourly directly from the Legepladsfinder database. Data sources include:
- User submissions (admin-reviewed before publishing).
- Automated imports from publicly available municipal data.
- Structured tags on each playground (age, equipment, accessibility, etc.) - see the glossary.
These figures are not a complete census of every playground in Denmark - they reflect what is currently on Legepladsfinder. We expand the database continuously. Spotted a gap? Get in touch.
