street (it occupies a whole city block), used as a multipurpose common <br>
area (pickup soccer games are a staple but parking or lounging around <br>
also occur, and the occasional popular event) and usually surfaced with <br>
sand or whatever the ground is.<br>
<br>
We have long tagged it leisure=common (389 ways in Senegal and 486 in <br>
Mali according to <a href="http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/TqN" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/TqN</a>) - which is a bit of <br>
stretch from the British legal definition, but worked well enough and <br>
did not conflict with its British usage. But leisure=common is now <br>
deprecated<br>
<br>
So, what should we use instead ? <br>
<a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:leisure%3Dcommon" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:leisure%3Dcommon</a> suggests using <br>
leisure=park - which isn't too much of a stretch functionally but evokes <br>
greenery that does not occur here (though British commons are just as <br>
green and we were happy with leisure=common)... Any other ideas ? Or I'm <br>
going to use leisure=park+surface=sand !<br>
