coastline and park should be entirely separate conceptually.  Tag it how
it is, and if it doesn't render how you think it should look into the
rendering rules.  Contorting the tagging to make the current rendering
incarnation work right seems like not a good plan.  I suspect the
rendering folks would be interested in a fix; I can easily see this
being a case not envisioned and not handled.
