<div dir="ltr">I think we might want to revisit some of the assumptions we made when we first came up with taggings for these areas. Taking a look at [1], I don't think that each of the individual properties on the list pass the "duck test" of being a National Park. However, it might be reasonable to say that the "National Mall and Memorial Parks" or "National Capital Parks - East" might reasonably be described as a collective NP and each tagged with a single relation encompassing all of the properties. I could also be convinced that "President's Park" which contains the White House, Ellipse and adjacent properties could reasonably be tagged as a NP.<div><br></div><div>Of the areas in the "National Capital Parks" list, it's Rock Creek Park [2] that's maybe questionable from a "duck test" perspective, mostly because it's not called by the title National Park (see parks signs in [3]).</div><div><br></div><div>The administration of DC-area parks by the NPS seems like a special case that needs a special determination from the community. Curious what others think of this.<br><div><br></div><div>[1] <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Mall_and_Memorial_Parks">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Mall_and_Memorial_Parks</a></div><div>[2] <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_Creek_Park">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_Creek_Park</a></div></div><div>[3] <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_Creek_Park#/media/File:Rock_Creek_Park_NPS_sign.jpg">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_Creek_Park#/media/File:Rock_Creek_Park_NPS_sign.jpg</a></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Apr 28, 2021 at 2:38 PM Zeke Farwell <<a href="mailto:ezekielf@gmail.com">ezekielf@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>There is some disagreement on this changeset about whether the urban parks run by the National Park Service in DC qualify for boundary=national_park or not.
