[Accessibility] Accessible Play Equipment

[Gregory]

You are right that machine parsable tags are better. What I meant by
mentioning it is that the existing data in description may include
information that is useful for new tags we decide on. It's a big job to go
through them all, and not one that I would choose to do, but if your
browsing the map you can pop into the data layer and check a park or two.
It's also possible that a specialised render might choose to display the
description when the park is clicked on.

For working on a tagging scheme it will be useful to know what is out there,
so the information your wife gets will be somewhat helpful (and hopefully a
lot helpful). I would divide what you think about into two categories:
1) The playground: an area tagged with leisure=playground. Is the whole
place especially for certain needs, and how do we tag those? Is it a public
playground, private belonging to some organisation/building, or public but
only for those who need it (access=restricted?)?
2) The equipment: nodes within the playground area. The playground might be
mixed use but have some equipment that meets special needs. It may reuse
some tags that can be used on the area. What specifically is the
equipment(not an accessibility question)? step=no? What needs is it useful
for?
