How many public playgrounds are there in Philadelphia?

This directory lists 191 public playgrounds in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, taken from open map data. 173 of them carry evidence of public access, such as an access tag, a public park boundary, or a parks department as operator. The real number is higher: a playground that nobody has mapped, or that has no name and is not inside a named park, is not listed here.

Which playgrounds in Philadelphia have restrooms?

No Philadelphia listing currently records restrooms. That is a gap in the map data rather than a statement that none exist — the tag simply has not been added yet.

Are any Philadelphia playgrounds wheelchair accessible?

No Philadelphia listing carries a wheelchair access tag yet. Contact the parks operator before travelling if access matters, and consider adding what you find to OpenStreetMap.

Which playgrounds in Philadelphia are fenced?

No Philadelphia listing has fencing mapped. Fencing is one of the least-recorded details in open map data, so this says nothing about the playgrounds themselves.
