It seem like generally sport in OSM is just any physical activity. However, it's key to note that features are only tagged with `sport` when specifically designated for that activity.

For consideration, in the UK parkour is now officially recognised as a sport. If you're not aware, parkour can be practised pretty much anywhere. However, if you go to any local community and train with them, there will be certain spots training always takes place at because of the features there. That said, I wouldn't recommend OSM start tagging these spots because there's nothing to designate these spots as training spots other than the implicit value the physical features provide (which can already be captured by mapping those - the same way that mapping a field of grass generally implies any ball game could be played there). On the flip side, there is now something called a "parkour park" which is an area designed for training parkour with features specifically constructed to facilitate training - these I would say definitely should have a `sport` tag.

Accepting that requirement would mean that beaches cannot be tagged with the sport swimming as there is no construction for the sport. Cycleway are specifically constructed for bicycling .. so can be tagged with the sport tag...

So many complex conflicts if definition C is used by some 'sports' and cannot be used by other 'sports' ...


I would rather see a stricter more limited definition for the sport tag ... a looser defined key could then be adopted for other things on a case by case basis?

    I think it is way too soon to summarize a discussion that started
    less than 1 week ago.

    If definition C is accepted then:

    Bicycle riding is an accepted 'sport'. Riding my bicycle is then a
    'sport', as I do it on roads and cycleways around me I can then
    tag these as sport=bicycle.
    And that can be repeated for many things .. a place where casual
    games of football are played - no infrastructure .. can be tagged
    with sport.

    What definition of 'sport' would you now have?

            For example any definition that limits "sport" to
            competitions or only psychical activity is not
            fitting OSM use.


        I think you meant, 'physical' activity, although it would be
        interesting to see an event like competitive soothsaying!

    Thanks for checking, fixed.
