Absolutely. But the idea of a table-tennis pitch, chess pitch, ice-skating pitch and swimming pitch
makes me
cringe. That's not bashing a square peg into a round hole, that's shoving a
camel through the eye of a
needle. It can be done, with a hydraulic press, but the camel isn't much use afterwards (unless you
like
camel soup).
I understand you, but some of the cringing comes from language-based bias. Where you have two words
for pitch and court, I might have -platz (de) for both in my language and be more inclined to throw
them into the same pot.
"Field of play" might encompass football, rugby, soccer, baseball, and even tennis. Misleading, but
good
enough, for cricket (nobody understands the rules anyway, so a terminological
error is OK). Still wrong
for ice-skating and swimming.
Yeah, we have leisure=ice_rink and =swimming_pool and don't want to change them.
We might need a new tag for the table-oriented sports (are the more than
table_tennis and chess?).
We are struggling with sport that has a diffuse location, without fixed boundaries, often using a
natural feature, such as swimming in a lake or climbing a rockface, or kite surfing.
Back to the original questions, I have a severe problem with leisure=pitch for the sports hall, it
might also have pitches inside, indoor=yes. For that, leisure=sports_centre is only slightly better,
in particular if the hall is part of a campus that is the real sports centre.
Thus I am inclined to follow Martin's proposal of leisure=sports_hall.
