Where it sits

A playground stands here, the register counts 51 pieces of play equipment (15 platforms, 7 ladders, 4 climbing-walls, 3 cube/bead sets, 3 swings, 3 slides, 2 tunnel slides, 2 swing bridges and 2 other kinds) plus 2 modular units, the highest rated fall 2 m.
Also on the register: 165 seats (126 benches and 39 seats), 8 picnic tables, 5 drinking fountains and 2 water features.
The register’s commission dates run 1998 to 2026.
The register’s own site tag puts every item on this ground; the pins themselves can drift a few metres.
