What makes a deck a pool deck?
The proximity to an artificial pool for leisure, and often their inclusion with
the pool inside in the barrier=* around the pool.
So The pool deck is the flat area inside the fence around the pool, the walkway
around the outside of the fence is not.
It is usually not for sunbathing or lounging - but I guess the usage for a
poolside area at a hotel and a fenced off pool deck at a school are mapped in
very similar ways, so I would put them into the same category:
**
a hard-surfaced pedestrian-only area adjacent to a leisure item featuring water
(i.e.:not a dock or platform next to a lake) for the use of people who are
using/observing the leisure item. It is often separated by a barrier=* in some
manner, but not required. **
In a water park, it is the areas adjacent or surrounding attractions, used by
people enjoying/observing those attractions, but not the walkways connecting
them. These usually are a different surface=* than the walkways.
Are they all water related everywhere?
Wildlife viewing decks do exist.

And there are sunset viewing areas .. possibly with decks.. so for observing.
Though some are there for the social activity, or maybe observing those
observing? :)
I think that any tagging for 'pool decks' could be used and should be
considered for other 'decks'.
