Please use access=private on those that aren't open to the public.

I'm not sure how you'd know that from aerial imagery, and given it's not
possible to survey this you could just use building=yes (I think it would
be wrong to make a guess, it would be better to use the generic/unknown
building=yes).

I don't think a residential facility in someones backyard should ever be
mapped as a change room, it's impossible to verify or know this.

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Ddressing_room is the
correct tag for change rooms at beaches etc.
