"don't map it" is a bad advice, lets say it's already mapped by e.g. me as a leisure=park even though it isn't. So the question is how do you handle the edge cases, that someone as scrupleless as me would tag as a park. I would tag it as leisure=park, access=no > 2) "lies in between buildings" --> just map the buildings with > building=yes areas > > On the other hand, if you actually know that it's a private garden, > then that's a different story - see the other posts about how to tag > this. There are buildings which don't have atriums. One could map it as leisure=private_yard_between_houses + surface=[green_stuff | mostly_concrete] perhaps defaulting to render green as a park. Maybe it's hard to decide because there are so many words for semi private yard, other words can be: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrium_%28architecture%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrangle_%28architecture%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Courtyard http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patio_garden http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backyard And that's not even counting what Petr wants, front side garden. -- /emj PS.
