This dataset represents Playgrounds with Dedicated Children's Areas in NYC Parks, previously known as Children’s Play Areas (CPAs). Each DCA is a designated space featuring play equipment specifically designed for children (i.e. play structures and spray showers) and is mapped as a geometric shape within a park property. While commonly known as playgrounds, the term "playground" is avoided because some properties or subproperties labeled as "playgrounds" may include features like adult fitness equipment or handball and basketball courts and may not contain play equipment for children.
