[Tagging] Requiring area=yes with barrier=wall, barrier=hedge and other usually linear features when mapped as an area`1

[Warin]

As a closed way would normally be taken as an area,but in the case of this barrier it is required not to be an area, why not use the tag area=no?

Tag the unusual rather than the normal?

Then, as Martin says, use the way of the barrier in a multipolygon relation for a park.
