I used to tag the area as leisure=water_park and the pools within as leisure=swimming_pool (with sport = swimming for those that are deep and long enough for competitive swimming). Usually there are other things withing the area like leisure=playground or leisure=pitch.
I found no suitable tag to represent the grass area that is usually used to lay down around the pool, sun-bath, play or make a small picnic. Neither landcover nor landuse seem to fit. regards, Chaos 2013/7/23 Gerhard Hermanns <gerhard.herma...@uni-due.de> > Hi, > > I don't agree with the use of the "landuse"-key. > > Landuse should be used for larger areas where you need a (generic) term > for a conglomerate of objects (like "landuse=residential" for an area with > houses, garages, gardens, streets - each of which can also be mapped > seperately), but not for single objects like a pool. > > > Am 23.07.2013 05:23, schrieb John F.
