Senagal kids wont like you tagging their playgrounds as wastelands :D
. Also as skora was telling they might be community centres !

Hey what about the roads which are not even visible and are very
narrow . Skora tagged them as paths . I also tagged few as paths . But
I am sticking to residential for 99 % of visible roads . But the roads
on the borders of these empty spaces are always confusing .. are they
just paths or residential roads ?
