With thousands of playgrounds and photographs, the Play Across America crowdsourced playground guide makes finding a nearby playground quick and simple.

Find and share playgrounds everywhere across the U.S. and even worldwide. Join the individuals, parents, Parks & Recreation departments, and playground equipment manufacturers, designers, and installers who are already sharing playgrounds with us every day.

Through this collaborative community, you all—our “Pioneers of Play”—will make Play Across America the most comprehensive playground database. Let’s truly make it easy to quickly find nearby playgrounds wherever you go!

As a military family and parents to four small children, we understand the frustration experienced when the kids need to burn some energy and you just cant quickly find a free, fun place to take them. Thats why we created this app! We want to help make kids lives more active and fun.

Here are some great features you will find on our playground app:
- Near me now: immediately, upon opening the app, it will find the playgrounds closest to you at that moment, if there are any already in our database. If there are none, you can easily add one through the app.
- Add a playground to our database while out at the park. Easily write a review and snap pictures using the app and it will get added to the database.
- Search any location to see which playgrounds we already have in our database.
- Find playgrounds/play areas: inside malls, inside airports, on military installations, in your local community (publicly accessible)
- See pictures of playgrounds before you visit.
- Find out each playgrounds amenities in advance.
- Get directions directly from the app.
