A pitch is for playing sport, not relaxation
My experience with pools is mainly in a sports setting - lap swimming and water
polo in High School. Most schools in Japan have shallow lap pools for the
students to swim in for PE class (sports) - there are _very_ few
mappable/outdoor pools not for sports in Japan - usually in city-operated water
parks. This is very different from California, where there are probably 10x
more private leisure pools at houses than sports ones for public use.
This came up because the area I am mapping currently has a city-operated water
park and many schools with their separate lap pools in one very small area, so
I was thinking about how to map these pedestrian areas.
I brought up "pitches" because the pool is where the actual activity is, but the
pool-deck is often the staging grounds for the athletes - like footballers sitting on the sidelines
of a pitch waiting to play. Often times, that is part of the "pitch" when mapped - but it
is different in this scenario, as pools have been separated from pitches.
My dictionary says the pitch is the playing area (I looked it up, but that was
my understanding before seeing the words), that would exclude players waiting
to play etc.
Oxford Dictionary = "An area of ground marked out or used for play in an outdoor team game."
When I map a 'pitch' I map the playing area only, unless it is on a node.
