This one had me wondering just what it's meant to be, in the wiki it's
just there with no real explanation except a like to other languages.
(and since I have no other language skills I skipped that option)
What would your understanding of that tag be?
Following the other languages bet I see an english definition that
still leaves me confused because I've never seen anything quite like it.

For the actual lakey bits *inside* I had in mind one of the natural
tags, natural=marsh which seems to fit the bill for the physical
feature. The issue is more the whole area...
Perhaps I'll resort to leisure=park for that as Stuart suggested, I
think it's the closest match so far.
