Warin,

I'm pretty sure this has been discussed on this mailing list before,
but I can't find the thread. Maybe you have more luck, perhaps when
you search for synonyms.

However, I did find something from the Australian mailing list
https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-au/2010-August/006940.html

My present searching ability on pipermail is poor!

taginfo gives:

recreation_ground=showground 4 off (using landuse=recreation_ground too, as per 
the Australian talk group)

amenity=showground 4 off

landuse=showground 2 off

leisure=showground 2 off

There are 23 pages of 12 entries (276 total),

Most of these are names ... so I'd say over 150 individual showgrounds named 
within OSM currently but only 10 with some kind of tag.

Anyone else?



hope this helps.

Hi,


I have found showgrounds that have been tagged leisure=pitch.. but I don't
think that is correct.

Reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Showground

These are places where 'shows' (displays) are held, usually agricultural
(sheep, cows, beef, produce).


Would the landuse key be appropriate?

landuse=showground ?


Some do get used for sport too, but that leaves out the showground aspect
and the sport pitch is usually only part of the area.

Where both exist together they can be dual tagged to have all the
information.
