[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Leisure=Skatepark

[Scott]

Great question. I'm not a BMXer, just an aggressive inline skater so I am not a definitive authority on BMX culture by any stretch. I thought they were still called skate parks given I've seen organizations like Red Bull have referred to them as such (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LgM0ralVVM). However looking further into this it seems based on the cities of both Houston and Chandler where I could easily find them as well as this list of them, they're classified 'Bike parks':

https://www.chandleraz.gov/explore/chandler-parks/guide/espee-park/bike-park
https://www.twowheelingtots.com/kid-friendly-bike-park-pump-track-directory/

I'll update the proposal in the next 15 minutes to remove that BMX only example and add a blurb that bike only parks be tagged as leisure=bike_park
