Hi, this topic has been discussed earlier and some wiki edits have been done. But I feel no real solution has been found and I still find it hard to tag what I see on the ground. So here we go again:
How to tag an enclosed piece of land where, after paying a fee to the operator, you can use different bodies of water for amusement or swimming, relax in the sun on a stretch of well maintained green or use other facilities like a volleyball ground or table-tennis tables? Best solution I could come up with: tag the whole thing as leisure=water_park [1] (even if it is not that fancy as in the wiki definition), tag the water features as leisure=swimming_pool[2](even if you can't swim in some) and sport=swimming for those you actually can (e.g. not for the childrens basin). (I may also add landuse=basin, but this may be overkill.) Tag the playing fields as e.g. leisure=pitch, sport=volleyball, surface=sand, further features as amenity = playground, amenity=showers, amenity=toilets, amenity=fast_food etc, mostly attached to a building=yes if appropriate. The green around would be a leisure=park, landcover=grass. Now the question is where to put the name, opening_hours etc. I did put it on the leisure=water_park border, because it is the overall thing. I briefly toyed with the idea to create a site relation with all those things inside and place it there, but then I realized that in a spatial database, there is no need to artifically group things based on their position inside a boundary. You can do a 'is in?' query to such a database. So, can we discuss if this is a good approach or what can be made better and then document that in the wiki? At the moment, there are various examples on how to tag single-building swimming pools but bigger places are not mentioned. Worst I've seen in the wild was a leisure=swimming_pool on a multipolygon cutting out the actual water areas. wtf?
