</div></div>I don't like to fuel this already long thread, but I just want to note<br>
that I don't see a need for kid_area, as playgound (with associated<br>
tags) can already describe all the usecases. Note that I'm a father of<br>
two yound kids, and playgrounds are very important in my day to day<br>
life.<br>
<br>
I agree that an outdoor park playground, a kid-friendly area in a<br>
shop, and a purpose-built playground business are very different<br>
beasts, but they still all fit within the "playground" domain by<br>
adding playgound:FOO=yes, fee=*, surveillance=*, being located in a<br>
building or not, etc. If it's just a minor service in a bigger<br>
amenity, just tag the amenity with playground=yes.<br>
<br>
As a father, I know pretty much all I need by seeing where the<br>
playground is located and wether it requires a fee or not. The only<br>
other things I need are opening times and website. Mapping individual<br>
playground components is fun for the mapper, but fairly useless for<br>
the parent (unless the thing is huge or your kid really *can't* enjoy<br>
a playground without, say, a climing frame).<br>
<br>
Whether you can leave your kids there for a while depends on so many<br>
things (kid's age, surveillance type, parenting style...) that I feel<br>
it's hopeless to try to tag it.<br>
<span class=""><br>

<br>
</span>I plead guilty to recently adding these two suggested tags to the wiki.<br>
