[Talk-GB] Preston Park, Brighton

[Tony Shield]

Hi

Like the idea of focusing on a particular area such as Preston Park. I 
only know the area from photographs and maps - but i did visit Brighton 
many years ago.

Tree-y areas - many people use natural=wood. Appears to render the same 
but database users may have different uses, so I tend to natural=wood or 
both cos it is an amenity in a public park.

Seats on a bench, and are there dividers to stop people sleeping there - 
personally think if two or more can sit there and its a discrete object 
its a bench.

Parkrun as a relation - why not, its similar to a country walk and we 
notate those. Would want to add parkrun description to UK wiki as to the 
meanings in the relationship.

Clock Towers - there are two mapped in Preston Park - neither appears to 
be complete in that they are physical objects which do not render.

Your ref : 20954883
<https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/20954883>

is close to Preston Drove bus stop with amenity=clock & support=tower. 
Suggest man-made=tower could be more appropriate and would allow it to 
render. Local knowledge details are essential to complete it.

Additionally there is close to The Ride.

amenity=clock
date=no
display=analog
name=Preston Park Clock Tower
visibility=area
website=https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1380948
wikidata=Q26661100

which would render with man_made=tower

Is this the type of response you were looking for, hope so,  I find it 
useful to think about it and see what other people think.
