[OSM-newbies] Typo: how to fix it: all the area is parking

[Xan]

Thanks Ævar and André

Yes, it's not marked like parking else like a sport_center.

Perhaps I really have not to mark whole area as sports center. Really 
this area is municipality public area with lots of services: soccer 
stadium, tennis courts (which you could rent), etc.

Is there any tag better than sports_center?

Can you clarify me the step 4, please?
What I have to select? The whole area?

Well, really the parkings are not full in general. And people practice 
sport (running or bycing) frequently. But I imagine that osm could not 
reflect that ;-)
