In my area, there are also town 'parks' that are intentionally left undeveloped, and some of those are unsigned. They are in the town plan, intentionally to support passive recreational activities such as walking and bird watching, and to preserve the forested appearance of the community. There are groups of volunteers who maintain things like walking and MTB trails in them. I tag those 'leisure=nature_reserve boundary=protected_area protect_class=21' for want of anything better. I don't use 'leisure=park' for those (but I also don't disrupt the tagging of other mappers, so if I see one tagged 'leisure=park' I leave it alone. They may have names like 'Fieldstone Drive Park' or Ĺock 7 Park' in the plan - but those are really just the names of other features that front on the parcel. The green space east of the shopping mall in https://tinyurl.com/yyyj2m3l is an example. I don't recall there being a signed entrance. When I've gone there, I've just parked on one of the residential streets and hopped over a guard rail onto a trail - knowing full well that it was lawful because I'd researched the matter.. I've not yet mapped the little area that the township owns at a corner where two streets meet at a very acute angle (that used to be across the street from the town hall before they built the new one). The town keeps it pretty; it's big enough to hold a flagpole, a fountain, a couple of flower beds and a bench or two, but it's really just a tiny wedge of land that couldn't be put to any more profitable use. A policeman comes out daily to raise and lower the flag. I don't think it has a name. _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
