However, looking at the similar usage of the amenity tag, ranger_station would be the likely candidate to fall under amenity. Under amenity there is, police, townhall, fire_station, courthouse, public_building, public_facility, village_hall, etc. Do you recommendation of a better tag? Personally I like the thought of leisure=park park=ranger_station. But that doesn't fit the current schema. -- Clifford OpenStreetMap: Maps with a human touch
