[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - playground:splash_pad

[Josh Doe]

I'm glad you brought this up. I recently mapped a newly opened accessible
playground that includes these sorts of water features, though it includes
more features than the splash pad shown in the example picture, such as
fixed water guns, and this interactive water canal:

They alternatively call this a sprayground or spraypark. I happened to use
playground=spraypark:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/1648182

Searching for spray and splash on TagInfo I see the following:

70: dcgis:spraypark (from an import)
6: park_type=SPRAY␣PARK
5: amenity=splash_pad
1: leisure=spray␣deck
1: leisure=splash_pad

For whatever it's worth, sprayground on Wikipedia redirects to "splash pad".
I think playground=splash_pad is probably a good choice, as it is applicable
to the small splash pads found in some cities, as well as a component of
larger playgrounds.
