What we actually check

Every listing is rated on the things that decide whether a morning works — not stars, not reviews, not how nice the photos are.

Shade
Whether there is any at 2pm
A park with no canopy is a different place in August than it is in January. Every spot carries a shade rating, and the ones with none say so on the card before you load the car.
Fencing
Whether a runner can get out
If a playground is open to a car park, the pack list says so. It is the difference between a coffee on a bench and ninety minutes of standing up.
Hours
And when we have not confirmed them
We checked opening times against each venue's own website: 23 of the 34 we checked had been wrong in our first draft. Where we have not got to one yet, the card says so plainly rather than guessing — and it stays out of “open now” until someone has checked.
What to bring
Written per spot, not in general
No refill station means bring water. Grippy socks required means buy them at home for a third of the price. Small things, and the ones you only learn by arriving without them.
Today
The list reorders itself around the weather
A 92° afternoon and a rainy Saturday call for different places. The guide reads the forecast where you are and puts the ones that still work at the top.
