I have tagged some 'athletic' (running) tracks that are grass (at least 
they appear that way from imagery). These are usually continuous with 
the inside of the field and in cases where there is an outside 
continuous with that too.

Some of  'athletic' (running) tracks have been 'artificial' (red when 
seen from imagery,I have tagged these as 'paved'). While you might not 
like the tag 'paved' for these .. it is a far as I would go in 
describing the surface using imagery.
