About Ten Villages
What this is
Ten Villages is an independent project, built by one person who uses these places. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by Columbia Association. CA's name appears here only to say whose amenities these are.
Where the information comes from
Pools, playgrounds, pathways, courts and facilities all come from CA's own public map data. Pool status is read at most once a minute. Everything else is an inventory refreshed once a day, so a playground's condition is CA's last inspection, with its date, not a live reading. Anything stale or missing is labelled as such. CA may change or correct its data at any time, and this app will be wrong until it does. When it matters, check with CA.
The map is drawn from OpenStreetMap data, served by OpenFreeMap. Photos are CA's, published in their own map data and shown here with credit.
Location codes
The code on a card or page is CA's own code for that spot, copied from its public map data. CA prints these codes on signs at many of its places, and the sign is the one to trust: this app can be out of date or wrong, and it is not an emergency service. In an emergency, call 911 and tell them where you are in your own words.
Your account
Signing in is optional. Everything except saving across devices and writing notes works signed out.
If you sign in with Google, this app keeps your name and email address. Your email address is never shown to anyone, and never appears on any page or in any response. Your saved places and settings live in your own browser; signing in copies them to your account so they follow you to another device.
Member notes
A note is public once a moderator approves it. It shows the name you choose, or your first name and last initial by default — never your email. You can edit or delete your own notes at any time.
Keep notes about the place, useful and kind. No personal information about other people, no abuse, no advertising. Notes may be edited or removed, and accounts that abuse this may be closed. You must be 13 or older to write one.
What gets counted
This app measures page views and how fast pages load, through Vercel, to know what people use and what is slow. Neither sets a cookie, and neither builds a profile of you. The only cookie here is the one that keeps you signed in, and it is only set if you sign in.
