[Accessibility] Accessible Play Equipment

[king antony]

Excellent - thanks for that. My wife is rallying other parents to find
out what equipment there is around the country to get some base data
in, once we've decided on some tags.

I'd prefer to use something more machine parsable than the
notes/description fields - though they could be used to supplement the
tags. Ultimately it would be good to be able to run queries against
it, like 'where is my nearest accessible swing' which you couldn't do
purely using the description field.

I'll try and make some time this week to follow up your tag usage
suggestion and see what else there is - I've done quite a bit of
mapping of streets but this is unchartered waters for me!
