Sports courts, playgrounds and skateparks near you

A hoop in the schoolyard, a cage in the park, a full court with two baskets: over 105,000 basketball courts are on the map, most of them open to everyone, no sign-up needed. One hoop is enough for 3-on-3. For full court you need two.

Where someone has already added it, the app shows how many hoops there are, whether there’s a net and whether the lights come on at night. Above all, you see whether anyone is checked in right now. Open a lobby, show the open spots, and keep the live score together.

From a fenced cage with artificial turf to a patch of grass with two goals: over 61,000 pitches and soccer fields are on the map. On public pitches you just turn up and play, while club fields are often locked. In aupa, every place tells you which it is.

Surface, goal size, whether there are nets: the community fills that in bit by bit. Short of players for a game? Open a lobby. Anyone nearby sees that you’re still two short.

With over 105,000 playgrounds, they’re the biggest group on the map, from the swings around the corner to the big adventure playground.

With kids, every minute counts: the app shows which playground is closest, how far it is on foot and how others rate it. Check in and your friends see you’re there. Maybe another parent with a kid will come along.

Over 18,000 skateparks are on the map: bowls, mini ramps, street plazas and small spots with one box and a rail. Skateboard, BMX, scooter or inline skates: most parks are open to everyone.

Check in when you get there. Others see that something’s going on at the park, and your people get a heads-up. Photos of the obstacles help anyone who doesn’t know the park yet.

Pull-up bars, parallel bars, rings: over 28,000 calisthenics parks are on the map. Many are in parks or by the water, cost nothing and have no opening hours.

On your own, the third set is tough. In aupa you see who’s training at the park right now, and you just join them. You log your sets in the workout log, and every session counts toward your level.

Over 21,000 fitness spots: gyms in town and equipment in the park. Each place says whether it’s free to use or costs an entry fee or membership.

At the gym you log your workout right in aupa: plan, sets, weights. The gym lobby shows who’s there right now, and at the end, how much you all moved together.

Over 27,000 tennis courts, from public hard courts in the park to club grounds. Where anyone can play and where it’s members only is noted for each court in the app.

Surface, number of courts, net, practice wall: players on site fill that in. You keep track of games and sets live in the app.

Over 26,000 volleyball courts, many of them beach courts in the sand by lakes, at pools and in parks. Not every court has a net. The app tells you whether there’s one and whether its height can be adjusted.

It’s best with four. One player short? Open a lobby. You keep score together, set by set.

Over 11,000 table tennis tables stand outside in parks, schoolyards and next to playgrounds, often made of concrete and always free. You bring your own paddles and ball.

Round the table with five people or a serious match to 11: the app shows who’s at the table right now, and you keep the live score together.

Over 29,000 places to swim: indoor pools, outdoor pools, natural pools and water parks. Most charge admission, and the app shows that for each place.

Swimming laps, splashing around with the kids or cooling off after a workout: check in and your people see you’re at the pool.

Over 20,000 dog parks and fenced off-leash areas. Your dog can run free here, and you’ll usually meet other people with dogs.

In aupa, a dog walk counts just like a run: record it, earn XP and see who’s at the dog park with their dog right now.
