When mapping pool complexes and water parks, often times there is a significant 
area around the pool, often referred to as the pool deck in the US (I don't 
know about elsewhere). This is often concrete, and can be almost as much area 
as the pool itself. 

For a water park, often times there is also significant areas of concrete or a 
paving material similar to tartan (used on running tracks) for people playing 
on the different attractions. 

Sometimes, at malls and other places in hot climates, there is a similar place 
to a water park attraction where water squirts out of the ground and gets you 
(mostly small kids) wet, like a fountain hidden in the ground - but it is a 
pedestrian walkway, and anyone can walk through, and no standing water is 
present. 

I assume, minimally,

Highway=pedestrian
Area=yes

on such areas is acceptable minimal tagging, but if I wanted to add an 
additional tag, similar to the footway=* tag, to it to say "this is the 
pedestrian area around/for a water feature, meant for people enjoying the 
water" 
Pedestrian=pool_deck
Pedestrian=water
Etc

I initially thought of access=*, but that would clash with the overall access 
of the area (customers for a mall, private for a swim club, etc).  

I also think tagging it as a pitch is a bad idea. 

As a person who used to spend hours a day on a pool deck, it is a special kind 
of pedestrian-only access area, and I would like a way to differentiate it from 
a plaza. 

Any ideas?
