A couple of quick thoughts. Could you combine the outline of the Lion with the tourism=attraction node, rather than having two OSM objects representing the same thing? I suspect area tourist attractions render in some way.  Also if you were to map the surrounding grass landuse as a multipolygon the lion could be a hole, like some of the shapes on Dovercourt sea front http://osm.org/go/0EH50LYJf
