Sources, method and limits

What these pages contain, where it comes from and what not to conclude from it.

The source: Data ES

The listings reproduce Data ES, the census of sports facilities published by Ministère des Sports, underLicence Ouverte 2.0. The data is downloaded when the site is prepared and validated before publication; visitors query no API.

Extraction used: 6 November 2026. Last modification of the dataset reported by the source at that date:6 November 2026. This date concerns the whole dataset, not each listing.

Coverage. 3639 sites from the Data ES database (retrieved 6 November 2026). The source may contain errors or omissions.

How the data is processed

  • Only facilities of type “Skatepark” and “Pumptrack” are kept.
  • A facility that appears several times is kept once, in its most recent version.
  • Facilities of the same site (“installation” in the source) are grouped: a site with a skatepark and a pump track has a single page, listed in both categories.
  • A site flagged as out of service by the source is not published.
  • Records without a valid identifier, locality or category are discarded rather than corrected. A missing position stays missing: no map link is invented.
  • Names written entirely in capitals are put back in normal case for readability; the original spelling is not otherwise changed.

In this extract: 3787 records read, 3781 facilities, 3639 sites, 0 duplicates merged, 6 records discarded.

What the data does not say

  • No opening hours, no prices, no rules of use: do not deduce them from an indicator.
  • No assessment of safety, level or suitability for a discipline (skateboard, BMX, scooter, inline skates…). The activities shown are those ticked by the person who filled in the database.
  • Public ownership or management implies neither free access, nor that it is free of charge, nor permanent opening.
  • An indicator set to “No” is not always a check: the source documentation does not say. “Not stated” means the source does not contain the information.
  • Dates before 1 April 2025 are not to be taken into account, according to the Data ES documentation: they do not prove that a listing was checked.

Definitions used by the source

Site (“installation”)
A location characterised by an address where one or more sports facilities are set up.
Facility (“équipement”)
A basic practice space attached to a site and characterised by its geographic position.
“Free access” facility
According to Data ES: a facility open to everyone, permanently (unfenced), allowing sport even without supervision. OsmoRamp reproduces the declaration without confirming it.
Public opening order
A facility that is the subject of an order authorising its opening to the public.

Names, surfaces, activities and other values are shown as the source states them, in French; they are not translated.

Icons

The icons come from Lucide, distributed under the ISC licence with parts derived from Feather under the MIT licence.Read both licences.

Map

The map is optional and closed by default. It uses the Leaflet library (BSD 2-Clause licence,licence text) and, only after you press “Show map”, map tiles© OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL licence). Your browser then contacts the OpenStreetMap tile server with the zoom level and the area shown, never your search or your position; nothing is requested before. The map never changes the list and does not query the data as you pan.

Reporting an error

Corrections are made at the source: Data ES records are declared by the owners of the facilities (see the Data ES portal). After the source is updated, OsmoRamp reloads its data when the site is next prepared.
