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

I think that's too much of a UK-centric way of thinking, which we should avoid. I agree that for the UK, a precise definition is not necessary, because we can simply tag everything leisure=soft_play that is called 'soft play'. However, it seems that the US does not use this term, let alone non-English speaking countries. Other countries might have similar (but perhaps not entirely equivalent) concepts. I believe we need some kind of definition that makes clear how the English concept 'soft play' maps to the variety of playgrounds other countries have. In the Netherlands, for example, there are paid and staffed outdoor playing grounds. Currently, I have no idea whether such playgrounds would fall under the English definition of 'soft play'. -- Matthijs _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list jonobenn...@gmail.com https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
