Playground

Playground is a direct CivicStructure subtype for children's playgrounds: public park playgrounds, school playgrounds, private commercial play areas. It adds no properties of its own.

For indoor commercial play centres with admission fees, dual-type with AmusementPark or EntertainmentBusiness to carry the paid-attraction vocabulary.

Google rich results this unlocks

Playground is a structural type. It does not produce a rich result on its own.

Its value comes from combining it with a primary type whose markup earns a rich result (Article, Product, Event, and so on). Playground becomes the trunk that the primary type branches off viamainEntityorbreadcrumb. Include it on every page as the backbone of your markup.

Common Playground mistakes

Mistakes that pass validation but silently fail to earn rich results or mislead consumers walking the graph. Avoid these and your markup will be ahead of most sites in the wild.

    Using Playground for a paid indoor play centre

    Wrong
    Playground for a commercial indoor play business with admission
    Right
    Dual-type with EntertainmentBusiness or AmusementPark to carry priceRange and offers

    Playground implies free public access. Paid commercial play venues need the business vocabulary to express pricing, memberships, and offers.
