<p dir="ltr">Good point. I've seen the discussion relating to the use of the forest landuse tag and the wood natural tag. It does just boil down to the mappers preference. My answer was based on my use ... there are no wrong answers, of course.</p>

Took a look at the area that you are referring to. The area that is designated as the park is a "Forest" while the other overlapping area is designated as "Wood". From looking over the maps provided by the City of Montreal (<a href="http://www.lemontroyal.qc.ca/carte/en/index.sn" target="_blank">http://www.lemontroyal.qc.ca/carte/en/index.sn</a>), it would appear that the overlap is incidental - the park area includes much of the green space boxed in by the road and administrative boundary, but not all of it. In fact, the park is separated from the administrative boundary by a small gap. It appears that it should actually be connected to that boundary.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">The use of "Forest" is odd - this is a designated park and would likely be better suited to be noted as amenity=park. It is arguable that "Forest" is not the predominate use for the area as that tag tends to be used for areas that are managed by humans for the purposes of harvesting. Is having the landuse here actually necessary? Using the amenity tag for a park appears to override the Forest tag with the actual use of the land (for recreational purposes).<u></u><u></u></p>
