[OSM-newbies] how to extract green spaces from OSM

[Gregory Williams]

Since you want areas instead of points then change the node in those
URLs to read way.

Subject: [OSM-newbies] how to extract green spaces from OSM

 

Hi,

I need to extract from OSM the green spaces that represent natural
places and parks in order to obtain their area. How can I do it?
I extracted the .osm files with parks or natural stuff, but what I got
is only a point for each green space.

I applied these two urls:
http://www.informationfreeway.org/api/0.5/node[natural=*][bbox=-71.1608,
42.3677,-71.1078,42.4006]
<http://www.informationfreeway.org/api/0.5/node%5Bnatural=*%5D%5Bbbox=-7
1.1608,42.3677,-71.1078,42.4006%5D> 
http://www.informationfreeway.org/api/0.5/node[leisure=park][bbox=-71.16
08,42.3677,-71.1078,42.4006]
<http://www.informationfreeway.org/api/0.5/node%5Bleisure=park%5D%5Bbbox
=-71.1608,42.3677,-71.1078,42.4006%5D> 

I just need the green spaces, perhaps is best to use another source, any
advice?

Best regards,
Rui
