I like that idea Martin, I've added a link to the playground tag for
tagging individual pieces of equipment (if anyone feels the need to).
Should I just start the voting by putting today's date, or do you
think it should be left for more comments first?
Thanks,

It has occured to me that this seems to be more of something simliar
to tourism=theme_park, yet smaller. I don't know if there is such a
tag that is widespread or if it's better to use your own tag.

Hi everyone,
It has been almost two weeks and the discussion seems to have died down.
How long should it be left, before initiating a vote, and how long
should a vote last on the proposal?
This is the relevant wiki page:

Hi Dom,
I don't know about voting ...
But I read your interesting proposal.
I completely agree that indoor-playgrounds should be mapped.
In Switzerland, it seems that they are normally mapped as leisure=playground
and indoor=yes, see example:
I have updated the page to indoor play, but I don't know how to
actually change the title of the page?
Do I need to just delete that one and create a new proposal called Indoor play?
Putting a note in the discussion that it has been migrated from the
previous soft play proposal?
Thanks,
Dom

First of all, I can confirm such centres exist in the Netherlands and
Luxembourg as well. So far I have tagged them as lesiure=playground,
building=yes. I never heard of the name 'soft play centre', though,
and I was not able to guess from the title what the proposal was
about. Is there no name

Or you could just tag the ones you find using this perfectly sensible

Looks absolutely fine. There are times when I'd use it on a node when
the soft play is just one part of a larger building, but that's pretty
much standard OSM practice anyway.
Don't worry

My understanding of a soft play area would not work outdoors, at least not in
Northern Europe where it rains.

Hi,
I agree with Matthijs that we should avoid a UK centric mode of

exists elsewhere. Apparently it does exist elsewhere, but not in
exactly the same way.

I think in my opinion the distinction between a playground and a soft
play centre is that a playground generally has a hard ground (or
sometimes rubbery), whereas a soft play centre (in the play area) has
a padded ground. In a soft play

No, that's a bouncy castle. Soft play is padding, not inflatables.

Due to child protection, you are generally not allowed to take
pictures inside the soft-play centres. Also, any official pictures are
copyrighted.
In the proposal, I linked to a few websites of some soft play centres,
where they have pictures, I hoped this would be fine.

A number of shopping malls in the U.S. have indoor playgrounds that consist
of soft sculptures (vinyl or soft plastic over padded/flexible frames) amid
padded flooring. They are free, not attended but cleaned regularly. A link
