Copenhagen's bemandede legepladser

Map of 9 locations in Copenhagen, Denmark

Copenhagen's bemandede legepladser are municipal playgrounds with staff on site. During staffed hours, families get loan bikes, play equipment and access to the playground house. The gates stay open outside those hours, but the municipality warns that some toilets are locked then, and several of these places lock the bikes away at weekends. Each entry says what changes when the staff go home, so you can plan which day to go.
