This is the county’s own amenity record, not a visit. It says a playground exists; it does not say what is in it, whether it is fenced, or whether there is shade. Nobody has recorded that, and we are not going to invent it.

What we deliberately do not publish

Opening times change with the season and with the weather, and the county’s own accessibility flag is not reliable enough to repeat — it marks a modern indoor recreation centre as non-accessible. For both, check the county’s current page before you travel.
