It would be far better to create an additional tag rather than replacing a
standard tag as it wouldn't break existing tools and apps.

Yes, if, and only if, access really is prohibited.

In which case we should map those quantities, e.g. width=*, visibility=*,
surface=*,  smoothness=*,  sac_scale=*, mtb:scale=*, etc.

The official_status tag[1] might be useful here.  They could tag their
official trails "official_status=Caliparks:official" and the other trails
"official_status=Caliparks:unofficial"
