Hi, I try to find a tag for a gymnasium (sports hall) in a school, for a fitness centre in a shopping centre and other sports facilities, but I realised there are no tags the community agreed on except for leisure=sports_centre. This is a complicated issue because of overlapping concepts, our multicultural environment and different needs. For example I just realised that "sports hall" probably wouldn't even recognised by native english speakers. I think we should have a sport facilities page in the wiki where we can list and define all the facilities and their required property tags in the first place. From there we could start off the different feature proposals, but (mostly) we cannot discuss them separately as they are connected on so many levels.
Am I on the right track here? OR... we could use the de facto standards the community use (and possibly document them in the wiki). Namely: - I wouldn't use leisure=gym as it is confusing. - I would tag a gymnasium(sports hall) in a school as leisure=gymnasium - Also, a separate, bigger sports hall gymnasium with spectator's stand as leisure=gymnasium. Or leisure=arena? - An outdoor gym as leisure=outdoor_gym - A fitness studio as leisure=fitness_studio and have tags as solarium=yes, sauna=yes, massage=no - etc Well, these are my preferences, not definitely what the community use mostly. So, goto 1? :) Anyway, I would ditch leisure tag and change all tags to amenity as it always confuses me, but probably there are higher reasons for its existence, so don't take this seriously. regards herrbert74 Zsolt Bertalan On Sun, Apr 10, 2011 at 7:33 PM, Nathan Edgars II <nerou...@gmail.com>wrote: > On 4/10/2011 1:09 PM, Alan Mintz wrote: > >> PPS--In the US, "gymnasium" is definitely not limited to places where >>> people do gymnastics, as mike said it's a large indoor room for a >>> variety of sports--like basketball and volleyball--and also sometimes >>> events like assemblies or dances. >>> >> >> ... at a school.
