[Talk-us] Parks in the USA, leisure=park, park:type

[OSM Volunteer stevea]

At today's creation of https://wiki.osm.org/wiki/Talk:Key:park:type , I introduce a proposal to reduce usage of the park:type tag (initially, in the USA) with the goal of better clarifying USA park tagging.  There are a couple of "low hanging fruit" tasks we might do as a pilot run, though past these easy ones this will require additional community interaction.  That Discussion page is a good place to do so.

If you think you might offer some perspective on how the many values of park:type (state_park, city_park, state_beach, county_park, national_forest, state_game_land, state_recreational_area, private_park...) might help us better characterize and improve USA park tagging, please take a look at the brief discussion initiated there.  You are invited to participate.

Thank you,
SteveA
