[OSM-talk-be] How to tag forest play areas (bosspeelzones)?

[Pieter Vander Vennet]

Hey everyone,

Thanks for the very interesting input.

After re-rereading the Wiki, the definition of 'leisure=playground' can 
indeed be used. It can be a /play area/, which /often/ (thus not always) 
contain playground equipment. The literal text '/specifically designed 
for children to play/' is a bit of a stretch in the case of a forest 
play area without equipment, but one can reasonably assume that the area 
is maintained to be safe and playable - I can live with that. So, I'll 
settle for 'leisure=playground'.


But then, we still have to discuss how to tag it.

I'm on the edge of using `playground=forest` or something similar, but 
Key:Playground/=/ is already used to *describe devices and installations 
on a playground*, /not/ the playground itself! I would have loved to 
used it however, as it would totally make sense... /except that is has 
already a different meaning within OSM!

/On the other hand, if a `leisure=playground` tag is present on the 
object too, it is hard to misinterpret it as being playground equipment...

At last, we should still find a suitable value. I'd again opt for 
something in English, so forest_playground would indeed do.

Also, Marc G., I'm very glad you brought up the previous ideas of the 
tagging mailing list; I was a bit reluctant to post there, both because 
of the time it would require and because it is a very Belgium-specific 
thing...

I'll also keep you in the loop and retag all your previous work to 
consensus - thanks for your hard work!

Kind regards and happy mapping y'all!
